Addiction devastates families, and “tough love” is often necessary. Steven T. Ginsburg, founder of Restore Detox Centers, emphasizes: “We must always enable the solution. We must never enable the disease.” Continuing to support destructive behaviors can be life-threatening, so families must set firm boundaries—making support conditional on seeking treatment.
He also highlights the importance of accountability structures, which act as a safety net to maintain long-term sobriety. True love in recovery requires courage and firmness: prioritizing life over temporary comfort is the most effective way to help someone trapped in addiction.
