When Someone You Love Is Struggling with Substance Use
It’s heartbreaking to watch. You see them slipping—into drinking, pills, or something they haven’t fully admitted. You want to help. You’ve tried to talk to them. Maybe you’ve pleaded, gotten angry, or pulled back out of exhaustion.
But nothing seems to work.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Most people in your position feel the same way: afraid of saying the wrong thing, unsure what the “right” help even looks like, and stuck between hoping it gets better and fearing it won’t. But you can do something. You can connect them with the right care.
That’s where we come in.
At Sequoia MD, we provide discreet, effective, outpatient addiction treatment that actually helps people get better.
And you—right now—can be the person who helps make that happen.
