DAD (Dad's Against Drugs) Support Group

NOT ALONE Children's Educational Support Group

This program is for children ages 5 to 18. Education about addiction gives children a framework for what they are experiencing. They hear the messages they need to hear - that they are not alone. The entire family is strengthened, stress levels reduced, and resilience enhanced when these services are available to the children.

Additional Service to Women & families - Recovery Coaching

The basic philosophy behind recovery coaching is that we have immeasurable resources of energy, wisdom, and ability waiting to be set in motion. We can create the life we want faster and more easily by having a coach who helps us utilize our resources to facilitate change and realize our potential. When you empower a person and show her what she can do instead of focusing on what she can't do, you can improve her overall mental health and life in general dramatically. Coaching answers the question of 'now what?' that women in recovery ask as they transition into a clean and sober world.
