Starting with boundaries

When you’re worried about someone, it’s easy to feel responsible for every choice they make. A boundary can bring the focus back to what belongs to you: how you communicate, what help you can offer, and what you need to stay well. You can be compassionate while allowing the other adult to make their own decisions.

For families and loved ones in South Florida, support doesn’t have to mean solving the whole problem alone. Florida Helps provides adult drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment at its facility in Miramar.
