- Communication is direct, clear, specific and honest and feelings are expressed.
- Rules are human, flexible and appropriate to change.

- Drug use in not the cause of family problems, it is denial which is the root.
- Blaming others, don’t make mention of it, covering up, alibis, loyalty of family enables. Nobody may discuss problem outside the family.
- Nobody says what they feel or think.
