About this listen

In "Understanding Addiction: A Guide for Families," Jessica Hulsey shares her own family's struggles with addiction to help dispel myths and misinformation about addiction. Based on decades of research and experience, she offers pragmatic suggestions for dealing with substance use disorders, from understanding levels of severity and diagnosis, evidence-based treatment options, relapse prevention strategies, and resources for family members. This is more than just a guidebook, it's a bridge to understanding addiction through a health lens, a clear explanation of the science, and offers concrete resources on how to approach difficult conversations with a loved one about their substance use disorder. The guide includes tools to tackle damaging misinformation, from "tough love" strategies to waiting for someone to hit rock bottom. This compassionate guide will show you how to support someone with a substance use disorder.
