• The need to have professionally guided conversations when talking about issues of addiction or treatment
• The methodology of leading with love and concern in interventions
• How a problematic behavior is caused by addiction or alcoholism
• The issue of families confronting addiction on a surface level, rather than a deeper, more meaningful level
