How to Talk About Your Struggles When Seeking Addiction Treatment

Learn how to express your situation honestly so you can be matched with the most appropriate drug rehab treatment for your needs.

Opening up about addiction can feel overwhelming—especially if it's your first time asking for help. Whether you’re speaking with a family member, a friend, or a care coordinator at NewportOne Health, being honest about your struggles is the first step toward finding the right drug rehab program.

✅ Why Talking Openly Matters

The more accurately you can describe your experience with addiction, the better our team can match you with a trusted drug rehab center. Sharing your story gives us the insight needed to connect you with treatment that’s clinically and emotionally aligned with your recovery goals.

🗣️ Tips for Sharing Your Story

  • Be Honest – Share your experience as it is. No need to downplay or exaggerate.
  • Describe Your Symptoms – Talk about your substance use patterns, mental health, sleep issues, or emotional triggers.
  • Mention Past Treatment – If you’ve been to drug rehab before, that helps us understand what worked—or didn’t.
  • Talk About Your Goals – Whether you're seeking trauma therapy, long-term sobriety, or a safe place to detox, your goals matter.
