Update: Virtual Family Education & Support Groups

At a time when many families are experiencing adversity amidst colliding COVID-19 and opioid epidemics, AdCare is providing complimentary substance use education every month and additional family support every week.

AdCare’s Family Education Program focuses on how substance use often affects the entire family to the breaking point, impacting the stability of the home and the overall family dynamics.

“AdCare’s Family Education Program is designed to help educate folks about the disease of addiction,” says AdCare clinician, Martha Deering, MA, LADC-I, CADC-II, LRC, CRC, QSAP. “As individuals progress from initial use to misuse to substance use disorder, changes occur in brain structure and function that drive the transition from occasional to controlled to chronic, compulsive use.”

Check out our Family Education page for future dates of our Family Education Program. You may also call 508-453-3053 for more information.

AdCare has taken its Family and Friends Support Group online, Thursdays, 6:30-8:00 p.m. The Family and Friends Group is facilitated by an AdCare clinician and encourages members to discuss how they are feeling and coping with the effects of another’s substance use.

Experience matters. For 45 years, AdCare has provided individuals and families with life-changing substance use treatment. In addition to a level-4 hospital in Worcester, MA, AdCare has a residential program in North Kingstown, RI, and outpatient programs throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island that also provide virtual treatment.

In March of 2018, AdCare joined AAC (OTC: AACH), a national treatment provider operating facilities across the United States.
