Family Support
Outside of our residential program, Jericho Road aims to create ripples of change within our community. Since addiction is a family disease, those closest to the person with a substance use disorder can find their lives becoming unmanageable. Sometimes without us even realizing. At Jericho Road we strongly believe strength is in numbers, and no one needs to walk this journey alone.
Troubled by someone else’s use?
Answer these quick questions to see if Family Support is right for you!
Are you affected by someone’s addiction?
Often when we are faced with another’s addiction, it can feel like we are the only ones. There are thousands of people affected by the addiction of another. These questions will help you decide if Family Support may be right for your situation.
1. Do you worry about how much your loved one uses?
2. Do you feel that if your loved one really cared about you, they would stop?
3. Do you find yourself constantly making ultimatums, such as “If you don’t stop, I will leave” or “You won’t be able to see your children”
4. Do you often feel embarrassed by your loved one’s behaviour, while they are under the influence?
5. Do you feel guilty, like a failure or out of control because of your loved ones addiction?
6. Do you think your problems would be solved if they would just stop?
7. Do you feel like no one else can understand your problems?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, the Family Support Workshop may be right for you. For detailed information on our monthly meetings, reach out to Amy.
It’s a family disease
Those closest to a person with a substance use disorder can commonly be overlooked. So, we have created a space specifically for them. Together, let’s navigate the hold that addiction places on us. Hosted by Amy Lauber, Continuing Care Coordinator, we maintain an anonymous, safe and confidential space for open discussion and support.
There are no costs to attend, however donations are always welcomed to help keep things running.
