Addictions InstituteTHE ADDICTIONS INSTITUTE

FOUNDING & EXPANSION
The Addictions Institute is founded on the established research and treatment theories of Dr. Stephanie Brown, Director. The Institute integrates family systems and developmental perspectives to understand childhood and adult difficulties related to addiction and recovery.

Addictions may be subtle and hidden, blatant or ravaging. They may be masked by anxiety, depression, physical complaints, behavioral difficulties, child rearing problems or feelings of helplessness and isolation. Active addiction has severe consequences for the individual and the family. Recovery involves adjustment and change. Professional help may be useful at all stages for everyone concerned.

Mary Kennedy, LCSW, is now directing an expansion of the Addictions Institute in San Francisco.
