Our Ethos
Addiction to alcohol or any substance is a complex, progressive health issue affecting the reward systems of the brain. Because its outward symptoms are behavioral, it is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Active addiction is painful for everyone involved— from the person struggling to change their behavior, often through conflicting impulses and fluctuating levels of motivation— to the family members and loved ones navigating the sometimes chaotic behavior that comes with that struggle. PGDF's work affirms the humanity of those affected and offers robust tools to help them take charge of their lives on their own terms.
