5b. Support for Family & Friends
Family and friends of people with SUD have access to many support programs. They include 12-step programs such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon, Alateen and Families Anonymous.
Friends and family can also attend private talk therapy sessions. Family therapy, where a licensed psychologist leads the person with SUD and their family through talk therapy is another option.
