IDAA Family Recovery
IDAA Family Recovery is an IDAA community of spouses, partners, parents, and children supporting medical professionals with substance use disorder.
IDAA Children's Program
The Children’s Program available at IDAA’s Annual Conference is in partnership with and facilitated by the Hazelden/Betty Ford Center staff. It provides developmentally appropriate information about addiction and recovery to children ages seven to twelve. Children learn while having fun that they, too deserve and can recover with the resilience skills provided by the three-day program. The Children’s program incorporates IDAA’s belief that addiction is a family disease and supports recovery for the whole family.
IDAA Teen Program
The mission of the Teen Program at IDAA’s Annual Conference is to introduce and provide a Twelve Step peer support based program to teens who are 13 to 19 years old. It is intended for their recovery from the effects of parental addiction as family members. The IDAA Teens select topics for their group discussions. Two adults are the Directors of the Teen Program and are present for guidance during the sessions. They are certified in addiction medicine and child-adolescent psychiatry and a clinical psychologist specialized in child-adolescent psychology respectively. The IDAA Teen Program is also a logical transition for thirteen-year-olds who have attended the IDAA Children’s Program.
