Getting the conversation started can be the most difficult part of reaching out to a loved one struggling with alcohol or other drug addiction. That’s why the experts at Hazelden have created practical tools to guide you through this process.
Each generation has a different point of view on addiction. Whether it’s the type of drug used or the sort of addictive behaviors they are engaged in, each individual and each generation’s stories are unique – and powerful. These conversation guides have been designed specifically to address generational differences, while finding the common bonds that can lead to recovery. We will be adding new guides regularly to the site – check back frequently for updates.
