Is your family affected by drug or alcohol abuse?
Dr Chetna Kang and Toby Friedner focus on disability and mental health.
Millions of people are and it's not just the addicts themselves who need help but their families too.
It's a group whose specific needs can be overlooked, yet who are the ones often keeping a family together or looking after a child, that the addict cannot.
This week we'll meet people whose relatives are addicts to hear their experiences and find out what help is available for them.
