The Next Step
The best place to find positive, evidence-based support for a loved one battling addiction.
Here you’ll find cutting edge information about treatments for substance use disorders and proven therapy in a free first-of-its-kind online toolkit.
As researchers develop greater understanding of how substance use alters the brain, they have created medications proven to diminish cravings, reduce agitation and improve sleep.
“There isn't any other diagnosis where it would be okay to get in people's face and scream at them and shame them and make them feel terrible about themselves.”
“I have actually watched all of the videos in the Toolkit... It is refreshing to see material that doesn't shame either the person who is using or the person who is loving them and trying to be a support.”
