7 Essential Tips for Supporting a Loved One on Suboxone
Your loved one's path to recovery may not look like what it looked like to them or what you expect them to do. The important thing is that it works for them, and it should have your all your approval and support.
Supporting someone you care about through their recovery from opioid addiction can be challenging, but it’s crucial. This episode of 'Workit Health Blog Post Recordings', hosted by Kali, dives into seven actionable ways to help a loved one on Suboxone treatment. The journey starts with patience—allowing your loved one the time they need to feel better. Suboxone can ease both physical and mental withdrawal symptoms, but recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. Encouraging self-care practices is another key step.
Help them find healthy ways to nurture themselves, whether it's through exercise, hobbies, or mindfulness techniques. Breaking down the stigma surrounding medication-assisted treatment is also vital. Trust in the expertise of their care team and don't hesitate to voice any concerns you might have. If you're in recovery yourself, seek out communities that are supportive of medication-assisted treatments. And perhaps most importantly, take care of your own well-being.
Your happiness and health are essential too, and they are not dependent on your loved one’s progress. Tune in to this episode for a compassionate guide to supporting your loved one’s unique recovery journey.
