In almost everyone's life, there is someone we know who is experiencing the destructive effects of an active addiction. It could be an addiction to alcohol, prescription medications, or even food and gambling.

Fortunately, there is always help--from family and close personal friends, from readily available treatment centers like hospitals and other facilities that deal with addiction diseases for the general public.

But when a Catholic priest, deacon, brother or sister is suffering from an addiction, who can they turn to? Where can they go for help? Their special calling--their vocation--makes them unique and in need of a special place that respects and nurtures their religious calling.
