Addiction is a family disease

If you have experienced a new way of coping with family members and life stressors as a result of attending our family workshop, please let us know. Sharing your experiences, strength and hope as a family in recovery can inspire and motivate other families to take healthy, life-affirming action.



To share your family's story or your personal experience with addiction and recovery, please call Joanna Painton-Hathaway at 1-800-833-9057 or e-mail her at jpainton@lakeviewhealth.us.
