If addiction is affecting your family, it's important to start talking about it earlier rather than later. With love and support, you can get the conversation started. The best thing you can do for your kids is to show them that it's possible to overcome a substance use disorder with the proper treatment and coping skills. Express to your children that with SUD treatment, life can get better. Showing them this hope will make them feel secure. At Monte Cristo Recovery, we know how a parent's addiction can affect their child's mental and physical health. We offer a variety of holistic and traditional therapies to help parents struggling with addiction. We can give you the tools you need to explain your disease to your children in a way that is age-appropriate and beneficial for all.
