Substance Abuse Family Care Program at Sharp McDonald Center

Family involvement is an essential component for successful recovery.

Drug and alcohol addiction is an illness that affects the entire family, not just one individual. Research shows that family involvement in substance abuse treatment is crucial for a healthy recovery.
