Family Meetings
Welcome to our Family Meetings Page!
We are so blessed to be part of you and your loved one's healing process. It has been proven that if you will do what you learn in these meetings, the success of your loved one to remain sober increases significantly.
Due to certain circumstances we are only offering "online" family meeting courses. Please follow the instructions below under each meeting heading to meet the requirements in order to visit your loved one while they are in our residential program.
