Online Support Groups Near Cincinnati
Whether you are in Covington, Florence, Mason, West Chester or somewhere else on either bank of the Ohio, ShareWell has live online support groups for people in recovery and for the families standing beside them. Around Cincinnati, almost everyone knows a household that has been changed by addiction, and far fewer know where to talk about it.
Every group meets online by live video, so you can join from home.
These online groups start during the day and evening in Eastern time, so they fit a day near Cincinnati.
Loving someone through addiction, and finding your own way back
Across the river valley from Northern Kentucky up to Dayton, addiction has touched families of every kind, and the people who carry it hardest are often the ones who never used anything themselves: the mother who keeps a phone by the bed, the brother raising a niece, the spouse who has learned to read a face at the door. People in early recovery face their own version of the same silence, rebuilding a life in a town where everyone remembers the old one. The region has a strong recovery community, but a meeting across town is not always possible with kids, a job and no one to cover for you, and the drive over the bridge in winter can be reason enough to stay home.
How peer support helps near Cincinnati
A peer group gives the family member a place to speak without protecting anyone, and gives the person in recovery an hour that is about the life they are building rather than the one they left. You join from home, which means you can be there even on the nights you cannot leave the house.
