In this video we finish talking about the 5 actions to take to provide Mental Health First Aid to someone with a substance related problem.
Action 3 - Give reassurance and information: Help the person understand that substance-related problems are medical conditions, and treatment options are available. Highlight that these problems often stem from underlying issues like anxiety, mood disorders, or trauma.
Action 4 - Encourage professional help: Suggest seeing a family doctor, who can provide guidance and refer the person to specialists if needed. Specialists in drug and alcohol treatment or counselors can offer ongoing support.
Action 5 - Encourage additional support: Recommend resources such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and family support groups like Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. Friends and family can offer crucial support, though they cannot force someone to stop using substances unless the person is willing.
