Family Support Navigator Program
"This program has been a tremendous help to my son. They provided guidance in selecting rehabs and offered family counseling when my son returned home. In addition, there are weekly support and education sessions for our family. These meetings have allowed us to network with other families who are going through the same issues we are. The emotional support provided to my family is priceless..."

Addiction and overdose are tragic--and preventable. There are measures that can be taken: being involved with young people, friends, and family, and talking to them about substance use; ensuring that prescription medications are stored or disposed of in a safe manner; promoting education about opioid overdose prevention.
