What Should I Write to My Loved Ones from Cocaine Addiction Treatment?

If you have decided to attend cocaine addiction treatment in a residential facility, this option will likely be very beneficial to you. However, it can be hard to be without your loved ones, and the task of writing to them while in rehab can sometimes be difficult.

Call 800-934-3781(Who Answers?) now to find rehab centers where you can recover from cocaine abuse in a controlled environment, and read on for tips on how to write to your loved ones from treatment.

Focus on Your Recovery

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “Drug abuse puts a lot of stress on parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents–anyone who is part of the home.”

Therefore, it is likely that your loved ones are still coping with the issues they encountered during your substance abuse. It is important, then, to focus on your recovery and the positive outcomes you have encountered thus far when you write to your loved ones.

It can be tempting to apologize for mistakes that you may have made while you were using drugs, but doing so in a letter from rehab can be difficult. You might not be able to give your loved one the full effect of your feelings or to let them know how truly sorry you are.

Instead, focusing on your recovery and discussing how you are improving can show them you still care and you are working on getting better. Once you are together again, it can feel much better to apologize in person.

Ask Questions

Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Ask your loved ones how they’re doing to show you care.

Your loved ones may feel sometimes that everything is about you, especially as you go through treatment. This can be a hard feeling for them to shake, but one way to help is to ask them how they are. This will give them more to write to you about and let them know that you care about their progress as well as your own.

Be Honest

It is important to be honest as much as possible without saying things you know will be particularly upsetting. Your family members will likely have experienced your dishonesty in the past during your substance abuse, and seeing you be more honest and forthcoming will make them more likely to trust you and feel that you are making progress in recovery (American Clinical and Climatological Association).

It is also okay to say things like “I’ve been struggling with cravings” or “Rehab is hard” while still assuring your loved one that you are going to keep working. This way, they will be able to see that, despite your difficulties, recovery is important to you.
