What Questions Will I Be Asked?
You may be a bit nervous about calling an addiction helpline, this is natural. Big life changes that affect your day-to-day life would make anyone nervous and anxious about actually going through with it.
But, just remember: starting the treatment process will set you up for success for the rest of your life.Â
Now, one of the reasons you may be nervous about calling is because of the questions you will be asked. Every situation is different and, in turn, every call is different. That said, there will likely be a number of questions that are consistent with each call. Let’s go over some of the questions you can expect to answer when you call an addiction hotline – it may help you better prepare.
- Are you in an emergency situation? Can you reach emergency services?
- What substances are you using currently?
- How often do you use these substances?
- What is your history with substance abuse? Does it run in the family?
- Are you dealing with any other issues? Physical? Mental?
- Have you been through treatment before? If so, how come it didn’t work out?
Again, these are just some of the questions you can expect when phoning into a drug or alcohol addiction hotline. However, it is vital to answer these questions honestly. The person on the other end of the line is there to help you, not judge. In fact, in all likelihood that person on the other end has been through what you’re dealing with now.
