If you or your loved one are thinking “I’m not ready to stop using” or “my use isn’t that bad,” then you might be in the pre-contemplation phase. We have gathered some educational resources on how opioids work on the brain. In addition, we have included some harm reduction resources. If you don’t want to stop using, or aren’t ready to start your treatment journey, then let’s reduce any risks related to opioid use.
Before we get started, here is a quick self-assessment to think about your substance use. Use the link below to Drug Abuse Screening Test by NIDA Clinical Trials Network
The DSM-5, or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is used to diagnose mental health and substance use. If you want to learn more about those criteria, these are provided on the link below.
While a loved one is in pre-contemplation, it may be best to meet them where they are at, rather than pushing against their resistance. This can look like encouraging them to use harm reduction practices that have been introduced in this pre-contemplation phase, along with getting them to their doctor to check on their health.
This website provides information on how to talk with someone who may be struggling with their substance use but not ready for treatment and how to support them.
If you need extra support, there are groups such as Al-Anon that you can attend. Al-anon is for family and loved ones of someone who is struggling with substance use.
