Learning Sobriety Together

Do you wonder if you or a loved one has a problem with drinking or using drugs? Are you confused, angry, worried about what might happen, wishing you knew where to go for help?

You are not alone

• There are roughly 15% of Americans with lifetime rates of alcohol abuse and dependence.
• Approximately 6% of Americans have suffered from drug abuse or dependence in their lifetime.
• 25-30% of adults entering treatment for alcohol/drugs are married or in stable relationships.

There is help

For those seeking help for a problem with drinking or drug use, or those who have family members with these problems, marital- and family-involved interventions should be considered. These approaches are used in many treatment programs throughout the U.S. and other countries and have strong scientific support for their effectiveness. For those interested in participating in marital- and family-involved treatments as part of an overall intervention treatment package for alcohol or drug abuse, please consult your local treatment programs about the availability of these services and the appropriateness of these interventions for you and your family members.
