Knowing that it may not be parenting an addict is such a humbling process.
Imagine sitting in a room full of parents who understand the heartache and confusion that comes with a child's substance use disorder. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', the Parent-to-Parent Support Group comes together to share their deeply personal stories. From mothers and fathers, some of whom are in recovery themselves, the conversation spans the gamut of emotions and experiences.
With children ranging from teenagers to adults, these parents lay bare the impact addiction has had on their lives and families. Adding a layer of professional insight, Jennifer Archut, Clinical Supervisor of the Opioid Treatment Program at Caron Treatment Centers, joins the discussion. She provides valuable perspectives on navigating these turbulent waters. The meeting underscores the importance of accepting the reality of the situation, leaning on others for support, and taking recovery one day at a time.
