Of the many ways addiction affects families, loss of a loved one to the disease can be the most damaging. The shockwaves of loss can reverberate throughout one’s life, making day-to-day tasks daunting.

LICADD’s Grief and Loss Support Group is a weekly group meeting open to families and friends who have lost someone to the disease of addiction. The group is professionally facilitated and focuses on the stages of grief and loss, managing emotions and working effectively through the healing process.

Gabriel's Giving Tree/Grief and Loss Support Groups meet at the THRIVE location in Hauppauge:

THRIVE Suffolk

1324 Motor Parkway Suite 102

Hauppauge, NY 11749

Also, our Individual Counseling program provides short-term counseling onsite in both of our offices. Scheduling availability is flexible.
