The most important thing to do is to be honest with your family about how you are feeling and where you are struggling. You can then let them know that you plan on seeking help from a counsellor or addiction expert, and explain why it is important for you. Many families would prefer their son or daughter to get the help they need than continue with the addiction secretively. Setting clear boundaries and expectations with your parents is also vital, so make sure that when setting those boundaries, tell them about your plans for getting treatment as well as what kind of consequences will happen if those rules are broken. By being open and honest about your habit, plus setting proper boundaries between both yourself and the family unit, it can reduce any potential tension in dealing this difficult situation. Ultimately if done correctly families can come together around a substance abuse issue with successful outcomes in sight for all concerned parties.

The best way to hide your drug habit from your family is to be discrete. Don't do it in the open or in front of them. Try to limit or eliminate any proof that would indicate you are taking drugs, such as needles, containers and/or residue. If possible, avoid being alone with family members because it could give them a chance to search and possibly find evidence. In addition, keep up the appearance of being engaged socially and involve them when appropriate so they can't notice anything suspect out of the ordinary on their own initiative.

Furthermore, if confronted about it directly, try using deflecting tactics such as putting the focus on how they found out (they noticed physical signs), denying knowledge or saying you only take it when they aren’t around since you know “it” will never be approved by them. Ultimately though your best hope for protecting this secret is if none of them get suspicious enough to follow-up by pressing further until you don’t have an option but to come clean eventually.
