How addiction affects everyone in your family

by A Forever Recovery

One of the biggest health related problems in the United States is drug and alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, when it comes to addiction, it does not just affect the individual that is addicted; a person’s entire family becomes affected when dealing with a drug or alcohol dependence. Dependence on drugs or alcohol wreaks havoc on the whole family. It is important to note, however, that long term recovery is possible. With time and the proper medical help, children and families of addicts can heal and put their lives back together.
