Help for Loved Ones

We understand that drug and alcohol addiction, or Substance Use Disorder (SUD), affects not only the individual going through it but those around them. We can help you learn how to support them while also taking care of yourself.

If your loved one is ready to seek help, Eleanor Health provides:

• Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) to safely detox and prevent relapse

• Therapy to treat underlying issues that may trigger substance use

• Peer support from a team with their own addiction recovery experience

*Note that we are unable to discuss the health of an individual with anyone other than the individual. If you know someone who is ready to start their recovery journey, please have them call us or fill out our secure form.
