Services include:

Addiction Recovery
When someone has an addiction, everyone around them is touched by the disease. Family members may begin to behave differently in an attempt to control or manage the addiction. JFS offers therapy services to persons struggling with addiction, and to their friends and family, with specialists in the treatment of alcohol and other drug addictions, compulsive gambling, compulsive eating, and other behavioral addictions. We partner with The Friendship House to provide counseling resources within the context of the 12 Steps from a Jewish perspective.
