The center knows first-hand that a major side-effect of    drug addiction is the breakdown of the family unit and how    important reuniting family is to the recovery process.  <\/p>\n<p>    This years Christmas Dinner was filled with many happy    families. Loved ones were encouraged to bring favorite    traditional dishes to share with their family member in    recovery.  <\/p>\n<p>    We never tire of hearing from families that this is first    Christmas in years they have been able to spend with their    loved one sober and in a safe environment. Its very gratifying    to see families have hope for the first time that they will be    able to spend many more holidays with their loved one happy and    sober, said John Walser, Senior Intake Counselor, Narconon    Freedom Center Michigan.  <\/p>\n<p>    Families expressed thanks that their loved ones who had been    struggling with addiction are now on the road to recovery. I    am so happy to see my son doing well and see all the positive    changes he is making, said the mother of student D.D.  <\/p>\n<p>    This is the best Christmas Ive spent with my son in years,    said the mother of student M.T.  <\/p>\n<p>    We are very impressed with how Narconon Freedom Center set up    the Christmas Dinner. I felt like I was setting down with my    family at home having everyone safe and together, said the    mother of student N.K.  <\/p>\n<p>    One of the biggest side effects of drugs is the breakdown of    families. The addict withdraws from their families and often    does not talk with or see them. Families often refuse to see    their loved one struggling with addiction due to their lying    and stealing. The holiday season can be an extremely stressful    time for addicts and can trigger increased drug use and    overdose leading to death. Families of addicts often spend the    holidays in fear for their loved ones life wondering where    they are and what they are doing.  <\/p>\n<p>    Getting a loved one into rehab can save their life, said    Walser.  <\/p>\n<p>    For more information on alcohol or drug addiction or to enroll    a loved one in drug rehab, call an Intake Counselor today    toll-free at 877-362-9682.
