Saturday "Ask the Doc" Sessions

9:00 – 10:00 a.m. every Saturday

Patients, families, and other interested people may ask questions of a physician knowledgeable in the field of chemical dependency. The goal is to help those attending increase their knowledge and understanding of the chronic, progressive nature of chemical dependency.

The series is free of charge and open to the public.

Family Education Day

9:00 a.m. – noon on the second and fourth Saturdays each month

Family Education Day further educates and informs the families of patients about chemical dependency. The goal is to help families better understand the disease and how they have been affected by living with it. Families learn about Twelve-Step programs available to assist them in their recovery.
