THE PROGRAM DEMONSTRATES EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO ANYONE WHO HAS A LOVED ONE STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. WE CAN ALSO WORK WITH THE PERSON IN ACTIVE ADDICTION TO TEACH THEM COMMUNICATION SKILLS ALSO. THIS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS, LOVED ONE SUPPORT, AND ONE ON ONE CONSULTATIONS.

THE PROGRAM HELPS ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS AND THOUGHTS THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE: WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO TALK TO MY LOVED ONE ABOUT THEIR ADDICTION? I FEEL POWERLESS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEPS SHOULD BE. HOW DO I MOTIVATE MY LOVED ONE TO SEEK TREATMENT? I FEEL ALL ALONE AND DETACHED FROM OTHERS. I AM FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY ALL THE TIME, HOW CAN I GET THESE FEELINGS TO STOP? NO ONE ELSE HAS GONE THROUGH THIS, SO NO ONE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING THAT I AM GOING THROUGH. I AM SO UNHAPPY; WILL I EVER BE HAPPY AGAIN? MY LIFE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO FIX IT. HAVE I MISSED ANY RED FLAGS?
