Free Educational Support & Resources Now Available to All Families with Loved Ones Struggling with Addiction
The Californer/10034876

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Californer -- Families of addicts are key to their recovery, according to a study presented by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), yet friends and family of addicts often struggle with how they can have the most positive impacts. Confusion, contradictory information and fear often paralyze even the most well-meaning loved one when it comes to facing the many challenges of addiction.

"There are a lot of facilities focused on getting the addict sober, applying life skills and giving them the tools they need to live a life of sobriety," said Tim Schnellenberger, co-founder of the Schnellenberger Family Foundation and Founder of Healing Properties, a Delray Beach-based recovery and treatment program with 17 years of success. "We have found that there is a huge gap in educating the family of the addict. We have created a program specifically for the loved ones of an alcoholic or addict, arming them with the facts so that they can help, even when the addict isn't ready."

The Schnellenberger Family Foundation's Educational Web Series for Families Affected by Addiction is Now Available On-Demand. Topics covered include: how and when to have an intervention, how to create boundaries, what is enabling and how to stop it, and how to help those recently home from treatment.
