Family/Loved One Support

Adult & Teen Challenge’s Family Support Groups

Concerned Persons Group is a crucial part of Ready Now Recovery, as we have seen first-hand the impact a loved one can have on a person struggling with addiction when they have learned healthy coping skills and have broken free from codependency.

This is a group for people who have or have had a loved one struggling with life-controlling addictions. Concerned Persons walks group members through enabling, codependency and healthy communication with their loved one. Boundaries is another course that we offer for family members.

This course teaches people how to set healthy boundaries to protect their personal well-being while walking alongside someone who is struggling.

When we joined the concerned persons support group we were feeling fragile and alone. We noticed that we were desiring and wanting our son to get better more than what he wanted for himself. Going through the material together with others gave us comfort, renewed hope and strength to let go. The Lord showed us areas where we were enabling our son and we learnt that we are powerless to fix what is wrong in our loved one’s lives. We recognized that it was important for us to let go, get out of the way and allow God to work in our son’s life.

Shortly after Kyle and I received help, our son accepted help from Adult & Teen Challenge and completed the 4-Tier Program. The Lord is restoring our family, we are growing in interacting healthier with each other and experiencing so much more peace. Thank you Jesus, thank you Adult & Teen Challenge.

"In our Living Free group we could share our pain and our concerns with one another; and more than that, we could learn how not to enable our son, where we could find true comfort in the ashes of despair, and to find true hope to get us through this."

I felt like a prisoner to addiction, walking to death row. I had tried to break free many times. It started as a way to cope but became what consumed me. I lost my daughter, my family, and my health. Here, I found hope, love, life, and family. I completed the program and went on to join the SURGE leadership program. Everything I have ever been through, I now get to use for good, walking alongside others on their healing journey.

My life in addiction was chaotic. I didn’t have a sense of purpose or hope. I didn’t know what reality was anymore… I just made things up in my mind and I lived in fear. Today, I have joy, freedom and a community of support and I’m achieving goals!

On a dark path of substance use—marijuana, alcohol, and later, cocaine. My addiction escalated quickly, and I was stuck in a cycle of hopelessness and relapse. I tried to quit on my own. I’d manage to stay clean for a few months, but I’d always fall back into using. I felt trapped. At Adult & Teen Challenge, I discovered a God who loves me despite my failures, and I began to heal. Today, I’m proud to say I’m a full-time staff member at Adult & Teen Challenge, helping others who are walking the same path I once did.
“There’s hope, and it’s within reach for anyone who feels like there’s no way out.”

I struggled with drinking and partying, not realizing I needed help. My biggest challenge was being honest with my loved ones. Ready Now Recovery gave me the space to speak openly, first with the group and then with my friends and family. It showed me that I’m not alone—others are facing the same struggles.

I started smoking marijuana and doing cocaine, I quit working to grow and sell drugs. Soon after I joined a gang and survived a gang attack where my arms and legs were broken and I was stabbed multiple times. I realized many of my friends were either dead or in jail and I started thinking about my life. Since coming to Adult & Teen Challenge. My life changed so much, I’ve found Freedom thanks to God and I’m excited to help others!
