A Loved One’s Addiction
Our Friends & Family Support Group is offered for those concerned about someone else’s substance use or gambling.
The person with the substance use or problem gambling behaviour doesn’t have to be a registered client of ASCO for family or friends to access this service.
The group meets together to share ideas and strategies, find support in one another, and process the impact that the substance use or problem gambling has had on relationships.
It is available to individuals, couples, and/or families (ages 25+), wishing to access support around their loved one’s (ages 25+) substance use and/or gambling problems.
