Is there anything for the family?
Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.
Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?
There is usually a way to do this that does not cost you the job, and it is worth asking before assuming. A phased return on reduced hours is a normal accommodation, and it is easier to agree before the leave than after it. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
