Family Program & Counseling

The decision to receive treatment for chemical dependency is a stressful time that impacts and involves not just you but your family and loved ones. It's the same for recovery. The likelihood you will recover from addiction successfully increases with the ongoing support of a healthy family and other recovery systems.

That's why the Recovery Center provides a special program for families.

The Family Program

These weekly sessions are designed to assist your loved ones who want to participate in treatment. Family members will learn about chemical dependency and recovery through educational presentations, guided family or group discussions and guest speakers. They'll also get support for developing new ways to help both you and themselves. This combination of activities helps each family by building on existing strengths and resiliencies and offering hope and options to create positive changes.

The weekly sessions take place on Tuesday evenings from 6-8 p.m.

Family Counseling Session

The Family Counseling session focuses on preparing all those involved in your discharge from chemical dependency treatment. You, your invited family members and the family counselor will discuss a collaborative recovery plan, concerns, fears and solutions.

If you have supportive family who cannot visit, we offer the option of a phone meeting with your family counselor.

If you have limited family participation, we offer you the option of meeting with someone else supportive of your recovery (i.e. sponsor, boss, friend) or you may meet with your family counselor for an individual session.
