We realize you did not arrive at this web site because you want to be here. Someone you love is addicted or abusing drugs or alcohol. You are in pain. What do you do? Where do you turn?
We encourage you to focus on your own health and prepare yourself for what may be a long, hard road. (For quick insights into the Path to Parental Health - Eight Responses Many Parents Experience, click here.) We have discovered that healthy parents do a better job of helping their kids.
While the information on this site can provide insights and direction (from the privacy of your home or office computer) the founders of this ministry urge you to seek support - not try to face this unique pain none of us are prepared to face alone. (To learn more about treatment options for your child or loved one, click here.)
"Like being hit by a ton of bricks" is how parents describe the news that a son or daughter is abusing drugs or alcohol. We trust you will find comfort from others who have found themselves on this torturous journey and endeavor to provide a path of understanding and a plan for those who may be reluctant (or ashamed) to seek out help on their own.
We've been where you are. More of us than you know. We do understand!
