Healing Together: Penfield Addiction Ministries' Family Recovery Education
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation—it begins with family.
Through education, understanding, and healing together,
families become a foundation for lasting change.
At Penfield Addiction Ministries, we understand that addiction impacts not just the individual but their entire family. With separate campuses and specialized treatment programs for men and women, our Family Recovery Education initiative empowers families with the knowledge and support needed to promote healing and long-lasting recovery. By fostering understanding and providing essential tools, we help families navigate the complex journey of addiction recovery together.
