Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL)

Created by Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL)
{alt}

Parents with an adult child dealing with substance use disorder involving either drugs or alcohol find hope and support through Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL). Meetings are available all over the country, and lives are being changed every day. It’s not an easy journey, but you don’t have to go at it alone.

PAL’s free weekly meetings follow evidence-based practices and the curriculum used is designed specifically for parents by professionals in the treatment and recovery industry.

Each meeting includes two important parts:

  1. An educational component that offers tools for participants to use such as ways to help rather than enable.
  2. A support component where participants interact, sharing what has worked – and has not worked – for them in their community.

Not only is the physical and emotional health of parents improved, but in many cases their adult loved one reduces or stops their misuse of substances.
