IF YOU’RE HERE, SOMETHING FEELS OVERWHELMING

Fear of an overdose. Broken trust. Conflict. Guilt. Anger. Exhaustion. Uncertainty about what to do next. When someone you love is struggling with substance use, the whole family feels the impact.


You don’t have to face it alone. With compassionate support and stronger connections, families can heal, rediscover hope, and create new opportunities to move forward. You just have to take one step.

The CLEAR Family Program

The CLEAR Family Program provides free, compassionate support for families affected by a loved one’s substance use, even when that person is not ready for help. We can help...

  • Understand substance use and recovery through practical education about motivation, treatment, recurrence, harm reduction, and how change happens.
  • Communicate more effectively using proven strategies that reduce defensiveness, strengthen connection, and encourage positive choices.
  • Set healthy boundaries that protect family well-being without creating unnecessary conflict or shame.
  • Prepare for overdose risk by recognizing warning signs, accessing naloxone, developing a safety plan, and connecting with harm-reduction resources.
  • Manage difficult emotions such as fear, guilt, anger, grief, uncertainty, and caregiver exhaustion.
  • Support positive change by recognizing progress, reinforcing healthy behaviors, and responding differently to harmful patterns.
  • Navigate treatment and community services with personalized connections to behavioral healthcare, recovery support, housing, benefits, and other resources.

With the right support, families can protect their well-being, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities for meaningful change.
