You don’t have to carry this burden alone — help is available.
When someone you love is struggling with drug abuse, it can bring fear, stress, confusion, and emotional pain. Families often feel helpless, isolated, or overwhelmed. At The Summit Counseling Center, we provide counseling for family members affected by a loved one’s substance use — helping you care for your mental health, set healthy boundaries, and regain a sense of stability and hope.
Is Your Loved One’s Drug Use Affecting You?
You may benefit from counseling if you:
- Feel anxious, angry, or exhausted from trying to “fix” the situation
- Struggle with enabling, codependency, or unclear boundaries
- Have difficulty trusting your loved one
- Experience guilt, shame, or fear for their safety
- Need help navigating crisis situations or treatment options
- Want to protect your own well-being and emotional health
