After the new law: how should Kuwaiti families act?
A clear answer from the Restart team — reviewed November 2026.
The new law gives families two clear routes: the official route via the treatment centre or hotline, and private treatment. Both are better than waiting. Most important: don't delay — every day of delay raises health and legal risk.
- No confrontation before advice
- Free parents' seminar every Saturday
- Emergencies: call an ambulance immediately
First steps
Write down what you've noticed with dates, agree as a family on one calm message, avoid threats and shaming, and get a confidential consultation to plan the next step.
Look after yourselves too
Quiet Homes is designed for parents even before their loved one accepts treatment.
