Family support & alumni
Recovery is a family affair.
We recognize addiction as a multi-generational family illness and recovery as the framework for healing families and stopping the cycle of pain. When one man recovers, a whole family can begin to heal.
Looking for a family class?
Our free weekly education and recovery groups meet online and in person. Most are open to the public, 18 and older.
You are not alone in this.
Watching a loved one struggle with addiction is painful, confusing, and exhausting. Our family program gives you the tools to respond from love instead of fear, set boundaries that actually hold, and rebuild a relationship that recovery can stand on.
Family education changes perceptions, strengthens marriages, and brings families closer. As one family member put it: “It is like an immunization for hard times.” You will meet other families who have been exactly where you are — and made it through.

Family voices
Healing is possible, for the whole family.
“Our family has struggled with several children who have been deep in addiction for many years. We sought help at over a dozen treatment programs, with very little impact on our addicts and virtually no help for us, the family members. Renaissance Ranch has changed our lives. We learned through their amazing family program that healing is possible, for ALL of us, if we are willing to work on our recovery just as our addicts must work theirs. Our journey of family recovery has been our greatest blessing.”
“I desperately tried all the usual spiritual approaches to save my two heroin-addicted sons. The Family Education classes at Renaissance Ranch helped me learn that they needed to manage the disease of addiction, and that I needed my own recovery too. My sons have told us they could not have maintained long-term sobriety without the support of their family.”
