Addiction , Drug and Alcohol

Addiction Prevention Strategies offers a unique family education program for churches and their families that have a loved one struggling with addiction. Our program is for the family members, not the alcoholic or addict. The purpose of our education class is to help the families have a better understanding of addiction, and why they can do to give the addict the best opportunity to find recovery, taking care of themselves in the process. Our family education program is approximately 90 minutes long. Our goal is to educate, encourage, and connect the families to resources that can help and support them through this very difficult time. Our mission is to work together with the pastor in helping families who are suffering from the effects of addiction.
