Why to Seek Support for a Loved One’s Substance Use
Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease that doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone, no matter their age, race, or socioeconomic status. If you’re the parent of a teenager who is struggling with addiction, you’re probably feeling very overwhelmed. While most parents’ natural inclination is to seek help for their young loved one, they often overlook taking care of themselves in the process.
While there are many resources available for addicts themselves, there’s often less support for parents, families and loved ones of addicts. This support group for parents and loved ones is aimed at meeting your needs as you navigate the early recovery process with your young person.
