Substance abuse and mental health disorders can affect anyone. In many cases, professional care is the safest and most effective road to recovery. You might be reading this as the partner of someone who has become addicted to prescription painkillers, or perhaps you are seeking information on medically supervised detox or inpatient care for yourself. Alternatively, you may have already undergone drug or alcohol treatment and are now looking for an addiction recovery resource center to help you maintain your progress and stay on track.

Resources For Families of Addicts
As someone who loves a person struggling with drug or alcohol abuse, you've undoubtedly experienced a mix of emotions like fear, anger, frustration, confusion, and hopelessness. This is entirely normal.
While it's crucial to support your loved one, your own physical and mental health are equally important. Our drug and alcohol rehab centers offer family services for parents, spouses, and close friends of addicts, providing the help you need to cope with the impact of your loved one's substance use.

In addition to finding resources for drug and alcohol abuse by contacting your branch of the military, active-duty personnel, and veterans can also find help at our addiction recovery resource center. We’ve also added some organizations that you or a loved one can reach out to for help below:
Military Crisis Line: This hotline includes text messaging service and online chatting to provide free veteran support for all service members, whether they’re registered with the VA or enrolled in VA health care.

Personal Recovery Resources
Once you have completed your rehabilitation program at Clearbrook Treatment Centers, you should try to surround yourself with people who can encourage you to stay sober. Many people find that support groups are the best source of encouragement. You can find hundreds of support groups and meetings in your community. Our drug and alcohol treatment centers stress the importance of personal recovery resources, especially when you are new to sobriety.
Here are a few tips:
- Speak with your doctor, counselor, or other healthcare provider.
- Search the online directories for a list of local support groups and activities
- Speak with local or national groups (see a few below) who are devoted to helping people get past addictions and staying sober.
Once you find a support group, you don’t have to feel tied to it. If that group doesn’t seem to meet your particular needs, it is okay to look for another group. Sometimes, it takes a few attempts before you find a group that feels right.
If you are interested in any of our drug or alcohol treatment programs, then please do not hesitate to contact Clearbrook at (800) 582-6241 for answers to any questions that you may have.
