Resources for Recovery Support
At Team Recovery Foundation, we believe that no one should face addiction or loss alone. In addition to our own programs and support groups, we encourage individuals and families to explore the many community resources available for recovery, healing, and connection.
Below, you’ll find links to trusted national and local organizations offering free and confidential support meetings. Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or someone you care about, these resources can be a powerful part of the recovery journey.
F.A.A.D. Support Meetings
Support for Families After Addiction or Death
When a loved one struggles with addiction—or is lost to it—the ripple effects touch every part of a family’s life. F.A.A.D. (Families After Addiction or Death) meetings were created for those left to carry the weight of that pain.
Led by Team Recovery Foundation, these weekly gatherings offer a safe, compassionate space for families, friends, and supporters who have been affected by substance use disorder, overdose, or addiction-related trauma. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of a loved one’s active addiction, grieving a loss, or simply seeking to connect with others who understand—you are welcome here.
