Phone counseling can be very helpful for individuals who struggle with an addiction to narcotics. Counselors are available to offer support, encouragement and education about addiction.

Things To Do Prior To Calling A Phone Counseling Line

·        Spend some time mentally preparing for the call

·        Determine if your company’s insurance plan will pay for the call

·        If your insurance company will cover the call have your insurance card nearby.

·        If the call requires payment then have your payment information handy

·        If the call is not concerning your drug use, but someone else’s, make sure that you gather as much information as you can about their addiction.

Tips to Get The Most Out Of Your Call

·        Spend an adequate amount of time getting prepared for the call

·        Write down what you would like to most discuss and be sure to address everything on your list

·        Be honest

If You Need Help, Don’t Be Afraid to Get It!

If you need someone to talk to concerning your drug addiction, phone counseling is a really good way to discuss with a caring and encouraging individual. It can sometimes be difficult for addicts to find someone in their life that can be objective about a person’s drug use and offer advice not influenced by emotion.
