Admitting we are alcoholics or addicts can be difficult. No one wants to think that we are different from others. Many drinkers have tried to control and enjoy their drinking and using.

When a young person first encounters addiction and addictive substances, the role that their family plays in preventing them from being consumed by that addiction is crucial. Research shows that the way families communicate and the way young people are supported are crucial elements to reducing the risks of drug use. These protective factors include good communication between parents and children, a sense of belonging and positive experiences at school, supportive friends, opportunities to contribute to the community, and respect and acceptance.
Increasing these and other protective factors helps to reduce the risks of drug use, just as family involvement in prevention programs helps to reduce abuse. Conversely, family relationships have such a huge impact on young people that evidence shows when young people feel isolated, unsupported or disrespected by their families these experiences can increase the risks of drug use. People with more resources and better support are able to cope with the problems caused by addiction without it becoming a public issue.
