The family member was explained about the purpose of the study and written informed consent was obtained from the patient’s wife. Sociodemographic datasheet, Short questionnaire for family members affected by addiction (SQFM-AA)was administered for baseline assessment. The 5-step intervention method was used to provide help to family members. After intervention post-test was done to see the effectiveness of the 5-step method.
