Addiction impacts the whole family, not just an individual.

Join us for a FREE family group support program!

This Family Support Group is for family members and friends concerned about their loved ones who live with a substance use disorder. This program is based on the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model. The CRAFT model is a highly effective, evidence-based, motivational program that impacts families in multiple areas of their lives.

CRAFT's three main goals:

The CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) is a compassionate, non-confrontational evidence-based program that helps family and friends develop effective strategies for helping their loved one who is struggling with a substance use disorder and for feeling better themselves.

The 12-session CRAFT support group teaches family and friends new skills in rapport building, positive reinforcement, communication and problem-solving, motivation techniques, analyzing substance use patterns, how and when to intervene, safety precautions, and more.

What you can expect:

  • To learn tools to help move your loved one towards recovery

  • To find ways to reduce potential harm while still maintaining boundaries

  • To feel empowered to influence change by learning behavior-change skills

  • To experience an improvement in the overall wellbeing in the lives of the concerned family and friends

  • To see a positive shift in family dynamics

  • To build your communication skills so you can connect more thoughtfully with your loved one

  • To learn more about available local resources that can help you and your loved one heal and thrive

Studies have shown that loved ones are more likely (7 out of 10) to enter into and engage in treatment* when friends and family apply CRAFT principals compared to other methods.**

*Treatment isn’t narrowly defined as traditional “rehab” or inpatient treatment. Treatment can be any supportive program, modality, or utilization of resources that supports the needs of an individual and helps them build their recovery.

CRAFT Groups are currently on a hiatus.
