Any illegal drug use or alcohol abuse by a family member will negatively affect the entire family. The good news is that when the entire family is involved in the recovery process, the chances of recovery are increased tenfold. You are an important part of the recovery process. We also believe that your health and well-being is equally important. We aim to help you we have productive activities and discussions that will help maintain your sanity throughout the recovery process. You will become apart of a “We” group, and the strength and knowledge of the group are beneficial to its members.
All of our services are no cost to you. We kindly ask for donations in order to maintain our programs.

No. You may share what you want. If you do not want to share, you can say “pass.” We respect your confidentiality.
We understand you have a busy life and your time has many demands. However, if you can attend meetings as often as possible, you will be helping your loved one. Meetings are available multiple days of the week. Many parents have to arrange childcare for their younger children and may have to alternate meetings with their spouse in order to attend meetings. We understand you can only do the best you can do, but attending these meetings may save you from having to attend more meetings with school counselors, or members of the legal system.
Members have to be at least 18 years old and are typically family members of a person suffering from drug or alcohol use and are not in need of drug and alcohol recovery themselves. This is not to say family members could never have had a drug or alcohol problem. Members are siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, or other people who love the person needing help with a drug or alcohol problem. Younger children, as young as 9 years of age through age 17, can attend sibling and children support meetings that are specially designed for children in this younger age group.
