Since 2003, Allies in Recovery has helped over 4,000 families address the substance use of a loved one. The online platform includes CRAFT Training Modules (video and e-book formats); weekly online support groups with an experienced LICSW; weekly CRAFT educational and skills groups with a CRAFT provider; online “office hours” with Allies staff; an interactive Q&A blog where you can pose a question about your situation; weekly podcasts; and more.

Allies also offers 1-day CRAFT Trainings free to members who complete half their Training Modules; offered on an ongoing basis.

The Allies approach is to help families learn how to interact strategically with their loved one to help guide them to recovery, as well as to help the family member reduce their own stress and worry. Members learn skills such as reflective listening, recognizing change talk, using rewards, and how to put together a treatment plan.

The program is $159 for the first 6 months and $9 per month thereafter; scholarships are available. No One is turned away. FREE to residents of Massachusetts, Mississippi, Rhode Island, New Mexico, and Palm Beach County, Florida. Click here to sign up for free as a member of the above listed communities.
