[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 722145, member: 21895"] That is such a big question these days Sam and a darn good one. Harm reduction and CRAFT (community resources and family trading) tend to rule the day. Out therapist says this is not the approach meant for uncopoerative addicts. The confrontational approach has been viewed to be unsuccessful. Does that include not using the term addiction. It’s a puzzle. My sons losses his SH$t if we use the term addict. But if we tell him he has a substance use disorder he is more open to listening. Does he admit this and that he needs help no. Do we know he is an addict? Of course we do. I am not certain forcing him to recognize with the term addict would be beneficial at this time. I wish it would help. I just doubt he would engage in any conversation. My son is delusional and believes what he says it is unreal and makes me shake my head. [/QUOTE]
