About Us

Today nearly half of us love someone struggling with substance use or addiction, and mental health professionals are increasingly seeking to help these families.

We The Village exists to ensure every professional and every family faced with addiction has the top quality skills and support to fight it. By training professionals or directly working with just one family member, we can change everything.

Our approach is inspired by and developed in collaboration with Dr. R.J. Meyers, creator of the leading evidence-based family method Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT). Our team is uniquely expert in training professionals and families to face addiction and get through recovery together.‍

And we have the data to prove it!

1. In 2020, we completed a pilot clinical trial funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and proved the efficacy of our online family program in treatment entry and improved family functioning.
‍
2. We were subsequently funded to conduct a full-scale clinical trial which is scheduled to be completed in Q2 of 2024.

3. In 2023, we developed and completed a pilot clinical trial funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) successfully training Mental Health professionals online in our method to replicate the results of our own highly trained professionals.

We’ve done the research so you don’t have to.

Make a difference today!

Our programs have been designed with experts, and studied in randomized clinical trials, backed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
