Addiction Resources

We hear from a lot of individuals and families that our free consultation helped them find a quality treatment provider that fit with their resources and circumstances. While we continue to off this free service to our communities, we have also spent endless hours creating quick addiction resource guides that list available resources in specific areas. This guide will help you find resources that best fit your needs.

 

Submit your email, the guide you are requesting, and submit. We will email the resource as requested. Don’t see your area, you can request our team to create a custom list just for you.

Support groups and information

Some support groups have abstinence-only policies and do not look favorably on medication-assisted treatment. The programs listed here do not have such policies, but individual group meetings vary. You may need to try several support groups to find the right one. Some support programs are just for people with a substance use disorder, and others allow families and friends to attend meetings or have separate meetings for them.

An Internet-based support group may be your best option if no groups meet in your community.
