How are the processes of "enabling" and "denial" factors in drug dependency?

What will be an ideal response?

Enabling occurs when friends, family members, or acquaintances engage in behaviors that reduce the negative consequences of the addict's drug-associated behaviors on the addict, e.g., loaning the addict money, covering up their mistakes, making excuses for them. This decreases the recognition that there is a problem and the motivation to do something about it, and also facilitates the process of denial. Denial refers to the inability of addicts to consciously acknowledge that their drug-taking behaviors are causing problems for themselves and others or that they have lost control over their drug-taking. Without recognizing that there is a problem, there is little likelihood that treatment will be sought out and if forced into treatment, little likelihood that the treatment will have any lasting effects on the addict.
