The Child of Addiction:

The children of Addiction come to us riddled with feelings of abandonment, unworthiness and even blame. When a child's attempts to bong with an addicted parent are thwarthed, the result is confusion and intense anxiety. These children must develop "survival skills" in order to survive in a home devoid of healthy parental love, limits, and consistency.

By the time a parent seeks professional help, their children have often become mistrustful and old beyond their years.

These children come to us expecting little from the parent that they believe left them for drugs and alcohol. Our professional staff work with these children to provide an environment of open communication to ask the hard questions of their parent and begin the process of healing and closure of past hurts. Our social workers assist the parents on knowing boundaries and help them forge a healthy relationship with their child.
