Parents Group

Ask most parents what they want for their children and they answer along the lines of “happiness” “health” “success”. Ask the parents’ of an addict the same question and they will say “I hope and pray that he doesn’t die” and sometimes..... “We don’t hope anymore, it’s too painful”.

After years, sometimes too many years to count of living with the indignity of addiction, facing pain, loss, fear and anger on a daily basis, it can be very difficult for parents to hope again;  to dream of health, success and happiness for their sons.

Last Door staff recognizes the vital role parent’s play in their kids’ lives and in their recovery. Parents are often our first contact with the family;  we are constantly amazed by the depth of love and pain mixed in one person.

Last Door Parent’s Group was developed to help parents live a life free from active addiction. Talk to staff about participating in this valuable resource.

 

Recovery at Last Door is a new way of life. Our social model program offers clients and their families an opportunity to experience recovery in a community. Recovery at Last Door is about regaining and living with a feeling of connectedness within a healthy community. It is about sharing and caring, about being part of something larger than oneself that gives a foundation for one’s future.  

Drawing on the collective experience and energy of alumni, clients, their families and staff Last Door has forged a solid recovery community. The Last Door community is vibrant and alive – giving to and taking from each community member. Dignity and purpose, two fundamental building blocks of the self esteem crucial to recovery flow abundantly within this unique community. 

We invite family members to participate in the weekly Parents Group – to share their experience and energy with each other and to become part of this unique recovery community. We are each other’s success – please join in!

 

Parents Group is held every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
