LOCAL RESOURCES AND INFORMATION
Welcome to the Parents Resource page:
Loving someone who has an addiction can be both heartbreaking and exhausting. Family members suffer just as much mentally, emotionally and physically as the person with the addiction. Addiction is a “family dis-ease”. We are here to help you on the road to recovery. Here is a list of resources to get started with along the healing path. If you need to speak to someone further, you can contact us at 516-361-6540.
