Plain answers to the questions families ask us most, about addiction, fentanyl, and how interventions work. Every answer links to a full page on the topic.
When someone you love is struggling, the questions come fast and the answers online are often confusing or written to scare you. This library exists to fix that. Each page below answers one real question in plain language, the same way a professional interventionist would answer it on the phone. Many focus on fentanyl because it is the question families ask us about most.
Some questions do not have a general answer. Whether it is time for an intervention, which treatment program fits your loved one, and what to do tonight if you are scared: those depend on your family's situation. That is what the phone is for. Call (850) 563-9776 and a real person will listen and give you an honest answer, or request a text if talking feels like too much right now. You can also read how our Family Recovery Course prepares families before an intervention, or hear from families who have walked this path.
If someone is in immediate danger or you suspect an overdose, call 911 now. If you or your loved one is thinking about suicide, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day.
