If you consider the relationship between people who develop an alcohol and for that matter drug dependency, with the society at large, it is clear that there is often a interdependence between the individual with the problem and their family or friends. Whilst they may be estranged from them, often they will be in contact; remember alcohol or drug dependents are also sons, daughters, parents, grandchildren and members of extended family groups.
Therefore, given the foregoing, each of these groups can have many contributory factors which need to be considered when addressing the nature of restorative treatment. It is likely that some of the following and often more than one factor, maybe interacting, to complicate the picture. These include, divorce, separation, bereavement, unemployment and debt, but the list could be much greater. These may lead to, insecurity in accommodation, deterioration in health and mental health issues.
Families and others associated with an individual having alcohol dependency problems are profoundly affected by the need to support their relative or loved one, yet this is often rejected and sometimes violently by the individual. But families do play a critical role in support with both alcohol and or drug, problems.
