“Our family was reeling. Our son was lost in addiction. We were all in great pain until we immersed ourselves into Structured Family Recovery. Our son is now five years sober because he, and we, committed to the program. The journey has transformed us all in unimaginable ways.”

– A.R. and G.R., parents of a beloved recovering son

“During our recovery journey, our SFR Counselor was the first person to treat us like a family full of love rather than a broken family.”

–K.F., wife of a beloved recovering husband

“I am in a place where I feel joy unlike I’ve ever experienced, and my relationships with my parents, extended family, and life partner have deepened in ways I couldn’t have imagined. SFR has been the perfect companion to my Twelve Step Recovery journey, and it introduced and strengthened a connection with my family that most addicts I know don’t have.”

– D.C., beloved recovering son

“We used to stand outside the recovery circle and judge my mother. Now we’ve all stepped inside the circle, holding hands and doing recovery together.”

-J.E., 24-year-old son describing his experience with Structured Family Recovery

“Structured Family Recovery has been a gift from God for me. The process allows me to share in my recovery with my family. The biggest lie I told myself as an addict was that I was only hurting myself. The SFR process has taught me that this is a lie and has been instrumental in the healing process between me and my family.”

– J.F., recovering from alcohol and drug addiction
