Support group offered for families of drug abusers
With drug abuse being a pervasive problem in today's society, Families Anonymous (FA), a free, 12-step self-help support group for families of drug abusers and others with behavior problems, will meet every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, 76 S Wisconsin St., Elkhorn.

FA is based on the 12-step recovery program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Meetings focus on helping the family, not the drug abuser. Members include parents of chronic truants, runaways, drug and alcohol users, and social dropouts of all ages.

Members use first names only to preserve anonymity. Meetings begin with the basic FA readings, and are followed by discussion of a topic chosen by the leader for the evening. Guests should enter the church from West Geneva Street.

For more information call (262) 723-8227 or visit FamiliesAnonymous.org.
