Help For Family And Friends

Help for Family/Friends

New Hope Recovery Center knows that family and friends are an integral part of treatment.  We also know that family and friends often have fewer resources available to help them understand their loved one as well as addiction and recovery.

It is critical that family and loved ones affected by addiction know how best to help their loved one get the needed help and to provide ongoing support that furthers sobriety.  It is also important for family and friends to understand how a loved one’s addiction can affect them and their own health and priorities.

We have written a number of articles to help the loved ones of an addict.  We are also here to answer any questions you may have and to share our experiences.  We would love to hear from you.  You can call us at 888-707-4673 or email us at [email protected].
