Family Support

Substance Use Disorders affect more than just the individual. Start your family's process of healing today.

About

Purpose

In conjunction with community organizations, we work to elimate the shame and stigma of Substance Use Disorders, develop and deliver family solutions and support, and create awareness of the disease of addiction.

Testimonials

These are people. They're someone's sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers. They're people just like you and I, they just have this terrible disease.

Angela G.

Our family was living on an island of desperation and isolation and we were welcomed into this community of love, recovery, encouragement, education, and advocacy. It is the one thing, to me, that makes a difference above all else.

Debbie R.

Addiction is a family disease. Lakeside Families Anonymous meets there every Wednesday evening. The McShin family council, Families 4 Recovery, works hard educating the community and families about the disease of addiction.

Did you know?

There are resources available to you as a friend or family member of someone with a Substance Use Disorder.

The family groups and support meetings hosted at The McShin Foundation are aimed to promote healing throughout the entire family, not only the individual with a Substance Use Disorder. We offer education groups, grief resources, and 12-step meetings for family members.
