Family Services
Loved Ones Support Group
Loving someone who is struggling with alcohol or other substance use can swallow your whole life. This group exists so it doesn’t have to. Every Thursday evening, people who understand exactly what you are carrying meet to learn practical strategies, support each other, and find their way back to their own lives — while still loving the person who is struggling. No registration. No cost. Confidential.
What you’ll find here
Where this approach comes from
The group is based on the work of Dr. Ed Hughes, MPS, LICDC, built from more than 26 years of experience in the addiction field. Its core insight: families play an important role in their loved one’s recovery — and well-intended rescuing can delay the moment a person finds their own motivation to seek help.
Learning to step out of that cycle is confusing and heart-wrenching. Nobody is asked to stop loving, stop caring, or give up. The group exists to walk families through it, together.
Who this group is for
Adult family members, partners, friends, and caregivers of someone struggling with alcohol or other substance use. Whether your loved one is in active use, in treatment, in recovery, or refusing help entirely — you belong here. You do not need your loved one’s permission, participation, or even awareness to attend.
