Families in Baldwin Park, California, have been deeply scarred by the drug epidemic that has plagued the entire country, and the damage continues to increase daily. Because it is not just the person using substances that is harmed by addiction but everyone in the family, it is important that everyone involved get the help they need to heal together.

• Get involved with a support group designed specifically for family members (and not people living with addiction) that can help to provide an objective view of what is happening at home.
• Enroll in educational workshops and classes that help them to better understand the nature of addiction and treatment.
• Engage in personal therapy sessions that help them to deal privately with the trauma they suffered during the active addiction of their loved one.
• Take part in family therapy sessions or couples counseling as appropriate with their loved one who is in recovery from addiction.
