Addiction is a family disease, meaning it affects even the youngest of family members.
Addiction is a family disease, meaning it affects even the youngest of family members.
At Dilworth Center, we believe that comprehensive addiction treatment includes support for the entire family. Our Dilworth Kids Program is specifically designed to help children understand and cope with a parent’s substance use disorder in a safe and supportive environment.
The Dilworth Kids Program allows children to express their concerns about a parent’s addiction and learn about the disease of addiction in a “kid-friendly” way. This program is essential in fostering a supportive family environment that enhances the effectiveness of our treatment services, whether it’s for alcohol rehab, drug rehab, or mental health support.
