Family Education

A workshop to educate families about co-dependency (co-addiction), the disease concept of addiction, and the importance of self-care. Family members will also learn coping skills, how to create healthy boundaries, and how to provide support for the recovery of their loved one without enabling their addiction.

Family Group Counseling

Helps clients and family members understand how addiction affects family relationships, and provides education and practice on assertive communication, sharing emotions, conflict resolution and identifying and addressing thinking errors.

"The National Institute of Drug Abuse and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend family therapy be incorporated into any substance abuse treatment therapy."

The Impact of Addiction

Addiction has an impact on every member of a household, from the oldest members of the family to infants. When someone in your home has a drug or alcohol problem, everyone feels the consequences of chemical dependence, and everyone needs help dealing with these devastating effects.
