Substance Abuse Prevention Program for Families/ Renewal House

Celebrating Families!
Provided by Renewal House

Celebrating Families! is a substance abuse prevention program, provided by Renewal House, Inc, that helps children in families whose lives have been affected by the substance use/abuse of a parent or other primary caregiver in their family (meaning that this family member has used or abused alcohol or other drugs, either presently, or in the past.)


  • There must be at least one child age 3 to 17 years old, and at least one adult (age 18+) in the family who would participate in the program. The adult participating does NOT have to be a parent (it can be a family member, friend, mentor, foster family, etc.), but a legal guardian must officially enroll a minor child.  There is no minimum for family members- the ENTIRE family can participate in this group. (the substance abuser does NOT have to participate in the program.)
  • There are no costs to participate! A family meal, and child care for infants birth through 2 years old are provided FREE.
  • The group is on Mondays, from 5:30pm to 8pm, once per week for 11 weeks.
  • Group topics cover a wide range of healthy living skills for the entire family- including: substance abuse prevention/intervention, communication skills, anger management, problem solving, child development, parenting, body safety, health, and similar topics. (The CF curriculum is an evidence-based practice. If any of your clients are required to take a parenting class, this curriculum might be able to meet that requirement.)
  • We require that all participants commit to abstain from using any substances for at least 24 hours prior, and during, group time. We ask that our participants NOT use any tobacco products from the time that they arrive on site to the time they leave.

If you know anyone who would like to know more about CF!, or would like to refer a family to our next group cycle, please contact us!

  1. While there is no denying that the clinical detoxification method can be irksome, it doesn't infer that you can't encounter the strategy in a pleasant space. You should go to rehab workplaces that try to make their patients as pleasing as possible during the clinical detoxification method and offer pleasing and obliging rooms that will make the system easier. Saving the push to really check for the right clinical detoxification organizations and the benefit rehab workplaces is a noteworthy development as the benefit rehab office can help anyone wanting to guarantee their detox and recovery process turns out to be emphatically, get the results they are scanning for.
