If you are in a relationship with someone affected by addiction, we encourage you to contact our Center to schedule an appointment and get more information about The 5-Step Method Program.
The 5-Step Method is a free program for family members who are affected by drug and/or alcohol addiction in a loved one.
This approach recognizes that the impact of addiction on family members can be a very stressful experience, but with support and knowledge, family members can develop their coping and response skills.
Family Members Support Program
The 5-Step Method is an unbiased, nondirective, problem-solving intervention that recognizes that family members are experts in their situation and can play a key role in the course and outcome of their loved one’s addiction.
