“My boyfriend uses ecstasy pretty regularly on the weekends. He promised me that he would stop months ago, after I had a bad experience with the drug. But he hasn’t shown any signs of stopping. In fact, it seems as though his drug use has increased. I really want him to get help, because our disagreements over drug-use are starting to create problems in our relationship. Could we both see someone together at SCRS to try to work through this?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- Help your boyfriend to understand the impact that his drug use is having on you and on the relationship
- Help your boyfriend evaluate his drug use individually if he is ready to seek help
- Provide you with a safe and confidential space in which to discuss your fears about your boyfriend’s drug use, and your frustrations with the relationship
- See you both together as a couple to help you work through these issues
