Family Addiction Recovery Support
Helping families find a clearer way forward.
When addiction affects someone you love, it can be hard to know what helps, what hurts, and what to do next. I'm Jeff Jones, MA, LPC, CRNC, and I offer practical guidance to help you respond with more confidence, care, and strategy.
The Addiction Cycle
Is Your Family Stuck in This Addiction Cycle?
They promise they'll stop using, then you find evidence they're still drinking or using drugs. You don't know if this is just a phase or if their addiction is getting worse. Some days seem normal, so you wonder if you're overreacting.
You may have tried rehab, therapy, or interventions, and they may have worked for a few weeks or months, then the addiction cycle starts again. Meanwhile, you're spending all your energy managing their addiction instead of living your life.
Addiction professionals tell you to "stop enabling," but no one teaches you what actually works. You're blamed for caring about your addicted family member the way you care about them, told what you're doing wrong, but given no real guidance on what you can do to support their recovery.
You're exhausted from the addiction chaos, and you want to know what to do that might actually make a difference.

About Jeff Jones, MA, LPC, CRNC
Helping families navigate addiction without shame, blame, or confusion.
If you're worrying, searching for answers, trying to help, and carrying the weight of decisions that never feel simple, I want you to know I see you. I help families like yours become a stronger part of the solution.
My work combines years of professional experience with my own personal experience around family addiction challenges. Rather than blaming you for "enabling," my approach honors the love and concern you have for your loved one, while giving you information, tools, and strategic ways to respond.
As a licensed professional counselor and certified recovery nutrition coach, I integrate addiction and mental health nutrition with family engagement strategies. This lets me address what traditional treatment often overlooks, including the bio-nutritional factors connected to addiction and the family relational patterns that can either support or hinder recovery.
Because of my own family upbringing, I understand how damaging it can be when families doing their best in impossible situations are judged, labeled, or dismissed. That experience is part of what drives my passion for flipping the script and helping families move forward with more clarity, confidence, and support.
My Approach
Why Families Work With Jeff
I'm passionate about decreasing the daily deaths from addiction through family engagement. My work gives families the support, education, and tools they need to better understand addiction, respond with more clarity, and create changes that can support a better outcome.
Early Family Education
Learn at your own pace so you can better understand addiction, recognize patterns earlier, and know what steps may help before things escalate.
Incremental Family Change
I help families move away from constant reaction and into gradual, sustainable changes that build more stability over time.
Encouraging Curiosity
My approach helps families create an environment where a loved one may become more open and curious about change, planting seeds for their recovery journey.
Community and Support
You do not have to navigate this alone. I provide education, tools, and connection for families who are walking through similar challenges.
Testimonials
Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery
I now know and understand why they call addiction a 'family disease,' this was huge for me. I've seen how family members change influenced the change of my son (in early recovery) and my brother (still in and out). We're in a family system and we all affect one another. How we love and express concern has changed in a good way. How we relate helps setting boundaries.
I highly recommend Jeff Jones. He is an extraordinary addiction coach that can work with your loved ones as well offer a holistic process that includes wholeness to the person and their family.
To anyone who thinks that they've "tried everything" and "nothing works," I highly recommend arranging a call with Jeff Jones. He has tools you've more than likely never even heard of so far.
Learning the differences between addiction and depression helped me navigate setting boundaries that addressed the ups and downs of both. Initially, I didn't see why I or any family member needed to change anything, but today I'm grateful, not just for the progress of my family members in early recovery, but I've grown in many areas of my own life.
