About Families in Recovery (FIR)
Families in Recovery supports families and friends affected by their loved one's addiction, helping them move past isolation to share their experience, strength, and hope in a safe and understanding environment.

This program helps people engage with:
-

Natural Family/Community Support System
-
Individuals Addressing Addiction
The FIR program provides those in recovery and their families with:
-
Weekly Support Groups in 2 Locations (Lewisburg and Middleburg)

Connection with Community Support and Service Providers
Developed in collaboration with the Union and Snyder Commissioners, the 17th District’s Treatment Court team, and people impacted by Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), SVM’s Families in Recovery Program engages non-profits, faith-based communities and community partners to take a whole family/community approach to supporting individuals with OUD and their families.
"Reentering Your Community" is a comprehensive guide to the resources in the Snyder, Union and Northumberland Counties for those in need.
