In December 2015, our support group was featured in the HBO documentary Heroin: Cape Cod, USA.   Cape Cod is known as small, quaint community of small villages.  The film looked at the heroin epidemic sweeping across small towns and communities, focusing on 8 young heroin addicts on Cape Cod, MA and their families, some of whom attended our support group. Invaluable support from other parents in the same situation is shared on a weekly basis.  We share feelings of co-dependency, financial burdens, never ending anxiety over relapse and we learn coping mechanisms from each other on how to let go with love.  We are there for each other as they start their journey with the dance of substance use disorder, stand by each other through relapses and the sometimes-long road to recovery and celebrate with each other when our loved ones find recovery.

In, 2015, the group was turned over to co-facilitators, Linda Cubellis and Corinne Wickel.  Through the years the group has grown and many of our members who were there at the beginning continue to attend the meetings to offer, their support, encouragement and hope to others even though their children, and loved ones, are in long term recovery.  Some of the parents have lost their own children to the disease of addiction and yet still come to the meetings to try and help others.
