This group combines effective parenting skills with peer and group leader support for parents of adolescents and young adults struggling with Substance Use Disorders.  This primary emphasis of this group is to discuss and gain a better understanding of the effects that drug abuse and addiction has on families.  Althought the focus of the group will be on adolescents, parents of young adults (aged 18-24) could benefit from the group, as well as parents of adolescents and young adults currently in treatment for substance use.  The group is facilitated by Matt Mullins, LADC and Director of Triad Adolescent Services Dual-Diagnosis Service and Elena Stein, B.A. and Clinial Education Specialist at McLean Hospital's Co-Occurring Disorders Residential Unit.  Parents are asked to commit to attending the group for 12 weeks and can remain after the initial commitment in 4 week intervals.
