Families can feel lost when a loved one uses drugs or alcohol too much. You may worry about safety, health, money, or school. You might feel sad, angry, or scared. Grace Health Clinic & Urgent Care is dedicated to restoring health and hope for your entire family. We use trusted methods and caring people to guide you.
What Is Substance Use?
Substance use means taking drugs or alcohol more than is safe. Sometimes a person feels they cannot stop on their own. This may lead to issues at home, in school, or at work. It can hurt health and feelings. It can also make family life hard.
Why Family Support Matters
When one individual faces difficulties, the entire family experiences the impact. You might argue more or stay quiet. You could feel alone. Kids may not understand what is happening. A parent may feel guilty. Having help from others makes a big difference. You learn to talk better. You find new ways to solve problems together.

At Grace Health Clinic & Urgent Care, we begin by talking with each family member. We listen without judging. You tell us your worries and hopes. We learn what you need most. Maybe you need help with stress. Perhaps you need to understand addiction better. We make a plan that fits you.
