Are you the Child of an Addict?

 

 

 

It has been said that addiction is a family disease, hence, here at Last Door we believe that recovery is best accomplished from a family perspective. Being the child of an addict often means living in addiction without using drugs yourself.

As the addicts life and functioning inevitably deteriorates so does the quality of life for those who love him. Quality of life issues affected including physical health, financial standing, emotional abuse or neglect, and social pressure. The addict may seem oblivious to or uncaring about the consequences to others which further damages relationships.

 At Last Door we teach the addict to regain their sense of dignity and purpose. We welcome family participation in a process of recovery and offer education and support to family members. As the addict regains their mental, spiritual physical and emotional health, family can benefit and heal along side them. 

If you have a parent who is suffering from addiction and causing distress in your life Last Door may be able to help.
