Many families find tremendous relief in discovering they're not alone in their struggles.
Yes, absolutely! In fact, this is one of the most common situations families face.
Our program focuses on what you can control - your responses, boundaries, and self-care - regardless of your loved one's readiness to change. You'll learn:
Our program addresses all types of addiction, including:
The family dynamics and recovery principles are very similar across all addiction types. You'll find the strategies and support relevant regardless of your specific situation.
Yes, we encourage family participation! Spouses, parents, siblings, and other close family members are all welcome.
Sometimes different family members are in different stages of understanding and acceptance. Having multiple perspectives can be really healing for everyone involved.
Both are valuable, and they complement each other beautifully! Here's how they differ:
Our Program: Educational sessions led by a professional addiction counselor, focusing on practical tools, family dynamics, and recovery science.
Al-Anon: Peer support meetings following the 12-step program, focusing on spiritual growth and personal recovery from the effects of someone else's drinking/using.
Many families benefit from both. Debra, our facilitator, is actually a 10+ year Al-Anon member herself and often recommends it alongside our program.
This is an ongoing program that runs every Tuesday at 7:00 PM EST. There's no set end date because recovery is a journey, not a destination.
Some families attend for a few weeks to get the foundational knowledge, others participate for months as they navigate different challenges. You can attend as long as it's helpful for your family's situation.
Emotions are completely normal and expected. Dealing with family addiction is one of the most difficult experiences anyone can face.
Debra is a trained crisis counselor and creates a safe, supportive environment. Many participants find that expressing their emotions in a supportive group setting is actually healing.
