Support for
Friends & Family
Meeting others in the same situation or talking to someone in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse can help families to realize that recovery is possible and happens a lot more often than we realize.
Behavioral Health & Substance Misuse issues are not a "spectator sport".
Eventually, the whole family gets to play.
Substance misuse and behavioral health affects us all; many families in our communities have a loved one caught up in alcohol or drug addiction or navigating the challenges of living with mental illness. The lives of these families are overshadowed by despair, worry and isolation.
Recovery is the hope on the horizon that keeps family members going, and it is the whole family that needs to recover.
The good news is, help and support is available, not only for the person battling addiction/mental health but for the whole family. However, the fear of being judged by friends and neighbors often consigns families to a life in secrecy and isolation and holds them back from getting the support that could make a difference.
