WRA Support Family, Friends, Children

 

Family and Friends
WRA treats chemical dependency as a family illness. In this weekly group, friends and family of clients gather to learn about addiction and about how each person close to the addict is affected by the disease. The group provides education, support and counseling.

Psychotherapy Services
Children are assessed and individual therapy is provided if needed. The therapist helps the child identify feelings and, through exploration, art, drama, and play therapy, provides the tools and guidance necessary to lead the child to healthy self-development.
