About
A Little About PAL
What we do
Parents of Addicted Loved ones is a parent support group providing hope, guidance, and addiction education to those who are affected by addiction.
Why we do it
To have a child lost to alcohol or drug addiction is to suffer a thousand deaths. But while you may feel stranded by fear and confusion, you are not alone.
What we learn
At PAL, we help each other see and accept the truth about ourselves and our loved ones. The more we understand what addiction does to a person the better.

The Numbers Don’t Lie
An estimated 30.5 million Americans over the age of 12 are illicit drug users. Each one of those people have other lives they impact – parents, spouses, siblings. People just like you. You are not alone in this. There are people out there walking the same path and they understand what you’re experiencing because they are there, too.
