His approach of meeting people where they are, providing life-saving resources, and connecting them to proper treatment when they're ready offers a model that families can adapt to their own situations.   For families feeling overwhelmed by a loved one's addiction, remember that your involvement matters more than you might realize. While you can't force someone into recovery, you can be prepared with resources, maintain appropriate boundaries, and be ready to act when the moment of willingness arrives.   Recovery starts with family. Your love, properly channeled through education and appropriate action, can make all the difference for your loved one.
