A place to begin.

Where to Start

You can begin with one conversation.

Asking for help does not require you to already know what kind of support you need.

A health professional, addictions service or trained support worker can help you talk through what is happening and identify appropriate next steps.

Support may involve assessment, counselling, addiction medicine, withdrawal management, treatment, recovery services, peer support or a combination of approaches.

01

Talk to a Professional

Connect with addictions or health services and explain what you are experiencing. You can ask questions even if you are unsure what kind of help you need.

02

Explore Your Options

Different people need different levels of support. Treatment, counselling, addiction medicine and recovery resources can be discussed with a qualified provider.

03

Keep Going

Recovery can involve ongoing medical, emotional, practical, community and spiritual support. Reaching out again is still progress.

For Family & Friends

When someone you love is struggling.

Supporting someone does not mean you have to solve everything yourself.

You can encourage them to connect with professional help, learn about available services and offer practical support without taking responsibility for every decision they make.

It is also reasonable to seek guidance and support for yourself. Addiction can affect partners, parents, children, siblings, friends and entire families.

Faith & Recovery

There is still hope.

Addiction can affect the body, mind, relationships, family life and spiritual life. Seeking professional help and medical care can be an important part of recovery.

For those who desire it, prayer, pastoral care, Christian community and spiritual encouragement can also provide meaningful support alongside professional treatment and recovery services.

You do not have to choose between asking for prayer and asking for professional help.
