Accept. Understand. Overcome.

When a family member is struggling with addiction, the people closest to them carry their own weight. Spouses, parents, siblings, and children often feel isolated, confused, and unsure how to help without making things worse. Learning how to help a family member with addiction is not something most people are prepared for.

Ashley’s virtual family support meetings are offered every Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, facilitated by a member of Ashley’s clinical staff. Whether your loved one is in treatment right now, in early recovery, or still struggling, you do not need to wait to get support for yourself.

Family support for addiction recovery works best when family members have a space to process, ask questions, and connect with others who understand. These meetings are that space.

About the meetings:

• Last names do not have to be used and are not required.
• Mute your audio; you can listen and are not required to share; please virtually raise your hand when you would like to share (participant list).
• Our only request of you is that you’re respectful of all the other participants.

What Families Go Through During Recovery

Recovery does not happen in isolation. When someone enters treatment for addiction, the people who love them enter their own process of adjustment. Parenting in recovery, rebuilding trust after addiction, managing expectations, and learning how to communicate without enabling are all part of what families face.

Ashley’s family support programming exists because family in recovery is a real and distinct experience that deserves its own structure and guidance. These virtual meetings give family members a consistent, facilitated space to process their experiences, hear from others in similar situations, and get grounded in what healthy support actually looks like.

Research consistently shows that family involvement in addiction treatment improves outcomes for patients and reduces stress and burnout for family members. You do not have to understand everything about addiction to show up for someone you love, but having support helps.”
