Family & Alumni Services
Addiction is often a family disease. Impact provides the tools and support for long-term success and recovery for both the family and our patients.
Addiction
A family disease
Most are not prepared for the trauma and strain that addiction can have on the family. Our family groups educate you on addiction while your loved one is in rehab, offering a therapeutic space to express feelings and begin healing together. Our alumni network provides support after treatment.
Involving the family improves the likelihood of sustained recovery.

Signs of Addiction
Can you recognize if your loved one is struggling?
Many families and friends experience the emotional turmoil addiction can cause. Anger, resentment, distrust, helplessness, instability, financial insecurity, confusion, and division is often felt when the addict remains untreated.
We've designed a therapeutic environment to facilitate open sharing of deep emotions about addiction among loved ones, and initiate the healing journey for the whole family.

What can you do?
Family members and individuals can participate in group and one-on-one counseling sessions if invited by the client's treatment team or caseworker. Given that treatment is individually tailored, an invitation from the respective caseworker is essential for joining these sessions.
Should you have more questions, please reach out to our Admissions Specialists by phone.
