What Is the Addiction Recovery Program?

No matter how lost or hopeless you feel, you are a child of loving Heavenly Parents. Change and recovery are possible through Jesus Christ and His Atonement. As you reach out to Him, you can find recovery, peace, and hope.

The LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Program has adapted the original Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. into a framework of the doctrines, principles, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The program can be utilized by both individuals that are seeking recovery from addictions and by spouses or family members of those who are struggling from or have struggled with addictions.

Please confer with a mental health professional if you need added support.
