Answer by D.D
lahacienda.org (com?) is suppose to be a top notch place according to drphil.com
anyway, there are usually tons of info in each area, look under mental health or counseling or drug addiction in the yellow pages and start calling around to find out , ask questions, attend AA meetings, naracanon meetings, ask a therapist of your own………join a support group in town or online……or both dailystrength.org has some groups but there are probably better ones
the place where they were attending therapy or incarceration should also have suggestions
Find a drug counselor/therapist and talk to them
talk to a child psychologist
best wishes

You can call 1-800-273-8255 and ask for referrals from substance abuse programs in your area. We have a program not far from where I live, and they offer support for people struggling with addiction and they also offer help for family members and friends trying to support the person with the addiction. When you find a place, ask them what support they can offer you. Whether it’s therapy or group meetings.. Ask how they can help you and if they can’t answer you that simple question, than don’t waste your time with them.
