Substance Abuse

It's about your loved one... but it's also about you.

Community Reinforcement and Family Training

At Allies in Recovery, we know the frustration, anger and stress that characterize a relationship plagued by substance problems. Our staff, along with a unique program can restore hope. We can help you find a place of calm, strengthen your resolve, and help move your loved one towards recovery.

No one suffers from isolation or needs support more than those whose debilitating habit has taken over their life. As an ally, you can begin to create the conditions that will enable change. What does it take to be successful? It takes a plan of action and a skilled advocate to help you create that plan.

In case after case, our approach has achieved remarkable results. We work with the family member to create an environment that leads to recovery. We show you how to reduce the harm related to substance abuse, how to use positive and negative reinforcements, and how you can motivate your loved one to seek treatment. In the process, your life and your relationship with your loved one will improve; you will develop ways to avoid the nagging, threatening and fighting that may characterize your interactions now.

We know that you face major obstacles. At Allies in Recovery we teach you how to recognize and deal with those obstacles, and how to encourage your loved one in the recovery process.
