Friends & Family Program

Catholic Charities' Friends & Family Program is a weekly group offering education and conversation about substance abuse for family and friends of those suffering from addiciton.

The Friends and Family Program will help family members and friends understand the disease of chemical dependency and/or co-occurring disorders, the impact on the family system, and the hope and healing possible through recovery.

Catholic Charities intends to have families/friends begin this program during the pre-treatment or early in the treatment process of their loved one, as we believe that families/friends must first come to grips with their own feelings and behaviors so that they can truly commit to and engage their loved one's and their family's recovery.

This program will improve and enhance the engagement of families in the client's treatment and therapy, which in turn will lead to improved long term outcomes.

June 2011 Catholic Voice article... 

"The best part is getting accurate information on the addiction process and community resources I can use."

"No one understands why I just don't write off the addict in my family.  The people here know it's more complicated than that."

"I recommend that anyone drop in--it's been so helpful to me."

 

The Omaha Campus for Hope provides a wide range of services to those suffering from addictions.  The Friends & Family Program is made possible through the support of the Region 6 Behavioral Health Administration.
