Overview
CRI-Help helps people struggling with addiction by offering a range of nonprofit services. What they do: provide treatment programs, education, prevention, counseling, and rehabilitation for chemically dependent individuals and their families. How it works: they deliver these services through programs and support designed for individuals and families, focusing on treating addiction as a disease. How they differ from rivals: they are a long-standing nonprofit (since 1971) dedicated to changing beliefs about addiction and providing a family-inclusive, community-oriented set of resources rather than a for-profit model. Their goal: to increase the belief that addiction is a treatable disease and help people recover and rebuild their lives.
