Centros de crisis y líneas directas
Addiction touches every family in one way or the other. How it affects is dependent on the relationship and the person that has the addiction. Everything and anything has the potential to be turned upside down. Relationships, child rearing, finances, safety, housing and more are all at risk.
Addiction affects the family. Whether it’s a child, parent, or spouse, addiction alters the lives of anyone who loves the person. No one is immune from the impact. It's an uninvited guest that no one can figure out how to get them to leave. Though Traveling Light Counseling does not work with Addiction outside of Couples Counseling we are here to help with resources for families and loved ones experiencing the pain or stress of a loved one held hostage by addiction.
