    Allies in Recovery

    Allies in Recovery is a membership-based program providing knowledge and skills to families who have loved ones struggling with addiction, since 2003. Using CRAFT, the only behavioral training method designed specifically for families and scientifically proven to work, you’ll learn how to communicate, behave, intervene, and guide your loved one toward recovery. Eight self-guided video modules provide the complete CRAFT skillset. We supplement the training videos with hand-tailored guidance provided through an expert, interactive blog, podcasts, and curated resources - including ways to locate hard-to-find, quality, low- or no-cost treatment, and other pathways through which your loved one can find recovery. You aren't alone - you have Allies!
