Winifred Stevens Foundation Family Program
Drug and alcohol treatment programs to help you and your family overcome a struggle with addiction. Our family substance abuse programs are designed to help families live without the presence of drugs or alcohol.
Alcohol and drug addiction are diseases that affect not only the addict or alcoholic but also the family as a whole. Whiteside Manor believes that family involvement in substance abuse treatment is crucial for recovery; therefore, Whiteside Manor has developed a family program to meet these needs. The goal of our Family Program is to introduce participants to the principles of recovery along with providing necessary social and emotional support. It also assists the client and family members in understanding the complicated disease of addiction and its impact on the family.
