A co-dependent person,or enabler,is one who works at limiting or eliminating the harmful consequences of the user's behavior,thereby enabling the user to continue the abuse pattern.Helping the user obtain the substance,establishing trust within the family,and referring the user to a treatment program are not typical behaviors of someone who is co-dependent.
