Family Recovery Center
Addiction doesn't just hurt individuals. It harms everyone it touches - loved ones most of all. RESET'S Family Recovering provides family members support, understanding, compassion and therapy to help mend relationships and tend to their own wounds.
The definition of family has changed over the years, from the standard parents and children to a family unit that includes friends and loved ones. We embrace whomever our clients define as family and welcome those individuals into our family recovery center. We offer:
- Family therapy sessions: We engage family members in the treatment process through regular family therapy sessions. For those who are unable to visit our family recovery center, we provide phone conferencing.
- Family education program: Our family education program provides valuable information to families about the treatment process, the disease of addiction and relapse prevention tools. Families receive professional support as well as opportunities to interact with other families experiencing similar issues.
- Support groups: At our family recovery center, families receive professional support and guidance as well as interact with other families that are experiencing similar issues. We also introduce loved ones to additional peer support and 12-step groups.
Families, including spouses, partners, parents and children, bear the brunt of the destructive power of drug and alcohol addiction. Spouses, partners, parents and the children of addicts grieve the person they have lost to drugs and alcohol. They live with constant stress and fear, wondering about their loved one’s whereabouts or if they will survive another day. They may feel compelled to cover or make excuses for the addicted individual, to prevent their loved one from losing their job, to protect their children or to shield themselves from embarrassment of having to admit that their loved one has seemingly chosen substance use over their family.
There may be legal and financial repercussions of addiction. Family finances may suffer, because their loved one is spending money to buy drugs or because of frequent absences from work. There are legal costs if a loved one has been caught driving under the influence, or has been sent to jail for drug possession or other drug and alcohol-fueled behavior.
Family members may understand rationally that their loved one’s unpredictable, defensive, illegal and selfish behavior is a product of the substance use – yet it doesn’t make the broken vows and the dishonesty hurt any less.
At RESET, we empathize with the pain families of addicted individuals bear, and our family recovery center and family support program aims to help heal those second-handedly affected by addiction. Family members and loved ones of addicts will be the best support system for individuals recovering from addiction. For this reason, it is important that as an individual is recovering from addiction, they begin to heal the relationships with their family and friends as well.
Addiction treatment at our center focuses on helping individuals achieve sobriety and maintain abstinence through physical, mental and spiritual healing. In treatment, individuals have the opportunity to make amends, to view themselves with more compassion and to building a positive self-identity that’s necessary for maintaining sobriety.
But what about families? Past deception may leave them unsure whether to trust again, and reluctant to leave themselves vulnerable to be hurt again. They may have had to sacrifice their own well-being to keep the family together, or to protect their addicted loved one. They have wounds of their own. At RESETs Family Recovery Center, loved ones can start to move beyond these hurts, finding a new path forward for themselves and those they love.
