Family Support Meeting
The journey of recovery of a loved one can feel like navigating treacherous waters, and the support of family acts as a vital lifeline. Though in caring for our loved ones on their recovery journey, we find that we need support as well.
You are not alone. Don’t miss the opportunity for engaging in community led by Mary Jo Stelzer, CDCA, who helps navigate these complex dynamics in our family support meetings.

Family Therapy
Family Recovery is Here. Recovery is a collective effort, and human connection is the heartbeat of healing. We are excited to announce that Dr. Becky Morrissey is now leading our Family Therapy program at The Ridge.
A family therapy session(s) focusing on relational dynamics in support of family recovery can be scheduled with our family therapist. The client and family, or the family only, can engage in in-depth integrative family work to identity causes and coping skills for moving forward together in recovery.
