“How to Become Your Loved One's Best Chance at Change” - A conversation
Most people will agree that addiction causes family problems, but many families have a difficult time accepting that it's a family solution. “If only he would stop drinking, everything would be fine,” or “we are great when she’s not using” are common beliefs among family members of those who are experiencing addiction.
Addiction impacts the entire family unit, and whole-family recovery is absolutely necessary if we are to create sustainable, healthy change.
Millions of families are struggling with substance use disorder or problematic/chaotic drug use. Our goal at Family Addiction Recovery Services is, first of all, to offer hope. Lots of it!
