Hi Whicee,
That would probably depend on what the addiction is. Im going through my daughter's meth addiction and its put her into a psychosis. Such a nightmare...for us both. But shes in such denial about the dangers of meth, her using and how its affecting her brain. I researched the heck out of it and it helped me to understand what shes going thru and most importantly how to communicate with her. I would think that if anyone reads up on their addiction, it would open their eyes. The problem is getting them to look it up.
