Understanding Addiction Help When They Say No
What Do I Do When My Loved One Refuses Help?
Introduction
If someone you love is sinking deeper into addiction while refusing help, your heart may feel heavy, worried, and overwhelmed. You have tried talking, praying, and supporting them, yet nothing seems to work.
At SOAR Counseling & Recovery, Kim Hart specializes in helping families navigate these painful moments with clarity, compassion, and faith. She provides tailored addiction recovery plans, Christian counseling, and family support, walking with you and your loved one through the entire process.
Why Your Loved One Refuses Help
Kim explains that refusal is not stubbornness. It is a combination of fear, shame, and the changes that addiction creates in the brain.
Typical reasons include:
1. Fear of change or withdrawal.
Stopping feels overwhelming and frightening.
2. Shame and feelings of unworthiness.
Many people believe they do not deserve help.
3. They cannot imagine life without the substance.
Addiction convinces them that using is the only way to survive emotionally or physically.
4. They fear being judged.
Kim’s approach removes judgment, replaces it with empathy, and invites healing.
5. They think treatment means losing control of their life.
SOAR shows them that treatment means gaining their life back.
How You Can Help Even When They Say No
Kim equips families with tools that honor love, boundaries, and hope.
1. Start calm and honest conversations.
Instead of saying “You need help,” try saying, “I love you, and I am scared for you. Can we talk about what you are feeling?”
2. Set boundaries without threatening or abandoning them.
Boundaries protect your heart and communicate love, not punishment.
3. Offer small steps instead of overwhelming commitments.
Invite them to one visit, one evaluation, or one conversation with Kim. One step is all it takes to begin.
4. Show them safe, faith-based treatment.
SOAR provides a welcoming environment with Christian counseling, Suboxone Treatment if appropriate, tailored recovery plans, and a gentle, supportive approach.
5. Get support for yourself.
You deserve healing too. Kim offers counseling specifically for families carrying the weight of a loved one’s addiction.
How SOAR Counseling Supports Families
SOAR is built on individualized, whole-person treatment.
Kim does not use generic plans. She tailors treatment to the emotional, spiritual, medical, and relational needs of each client and family. Families often share that the greatest relief is realizing that they no longer have to do this alone.
