We don’t need to remind you of what you’ve been through as a family – you’ve been there. Today, we’re reminding you of why you keep fighting for your loved one. Love and hope pull your family together, and that’s where recovery sits.
To help families better understand addiction, the recovery process, and the family dynamics that are involved in addiction treatment, Changing Tides Treatment Center offers a comprehensive, open-ended family program. When family and loved ones participate in treatment and the recovery process, and offer support, patients are more likely to achieve and maintain long-term recovery.
Our Family Programs include individual and group counseling, family therapy, and educational seminars designed to help you and your family heal together.
All family members who wish to visit your loved one in treatment must participate in an orientation first. This includes an Changing Tides Treatment orientation, as well as one of the following educational seminars:
- Communications and boundary setting: Families are provided with the tools and skills needed to set appropriate boundaries and to create a safe environment for themselves and their loved ones.
- Healing the family system: Here, you’ll look at ways for your family to create their own foundation of recovery and explore concepts like enabling and codependency. This way, your family has clear ways to support your loved one in recovery rather than surrounding yourselves in the addictive cycle.
- The brain and addiction: Learn more about the impact substance use has on the brain and learn about the disease model of addiction. We’ll show clips from Pleasures Unwoven’ will be shown to explore how the brain is impacted by substance use.
- Journey to recovery: Better position yourself and your family to fight this disease as you learn about relapse, symptoms of the disease, and ways to create a space for forgiveness as your loved one makes his or her way to recovery.
