Supporting Couples Through Betrayal and Addiction

Whether they’ve been captive to addiction or married to someone who has been captive to compulsive behaviors or substance use, your clients or parishioners may wonder if they will ever experience relief from the pain, frustration, and disconnect that addiction can cause in marriages and families. Is it even possible? When there has been extensive damage and pain due to addiction, how does a couple discover joy again?
