How do I support someone I love when they go to rehab?

Very difficult situation, I understand this because I have a brother who was in rehab but decided to run. The best thing to is to keep your head up high and don't let anything get to you. Just remind yourself that it is for their better good and to make their life better.

This is often a difficult thing for people. The best thing that you can do is to be there for them. Talk to them whenever you can and avoid talking to them as if there's something wrong with them. Avoid always asking if they're okay. Have normal conversations with them as you usually would and tell them that you are here to support them any way that you can. If you do that they will be sure to tell you what they would like from you.

First of all,you should remind him/her with his/her good deeds he/she has made in his/her life.The disability is not in our bodies,but it lies in our thought.The famous British scientist Stephen Hawking received the second noble prize,while he was suffering from a severe disability.Second,you should encourage him/her to do his/her hobbies.You should encourage him/her to start a new study and engage in sports activity.The support groups can provide him/her with similar conditions,which help him/her to rethink about his/her problem again.The watching of television is not a good method to kill the time,every day every one should learn a new lesson in their lives and accept a new skill in order to enjoy a good mental health. Let me know if you need more help.

A person's default need is Connection, whether they're going to rehab or sending a friend request or going to a bar or just simply existing, so I think that's where your support should import its strength, make them feel connected to you no matter the distance or the circumstance, stay connected if you can, visiting, calling, texting. Most support in this situation I think will come after rehab, help them get back on track, introduce new routines and new behavioral patterns, help them change their environment if you can, make the distinction between support and enabling, be honest with them and support only what you see best for them, engage in healthy habits and form hobbies together.
