Support For parents of children with Addicition?

A friend needs some support.

Looking for FB groups or online forums.

Her child is early 20's - drugs and anger issues.

Trying to figure out the best way to help her

Thanks

Not sure if her child has been to rehab or is in rehab but many offer family counseling and counseling just for parents. I would check hospitals too. St Charles may- I know they have rehab for drug/ alcohol and a detox unit. So sorry she's going through this. My program directors son has been to rehab many times and definitely finds comfort with the groups at rehab centers
