Rosecrance is a Resource for Adults and Their Families

Substance use can make life difficult for everyone involved, including patients’ families and loved ones. When an adult member of your family has an addiction, you’ll need to understand the situation in depth to cope successfully.

Rosecrance can support you and your family members. We’ll help you take an active role in the recovery process. Our services include counseling, support, education, and information.
