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.

Common signs of addiction:
  • Sudden changes in behavior
  • Moodiness or overly emotional
  • Unusual movements, shakiness
  • Increased number of sick days
  • Sudden or unusual weight loss
  • Paranoid behavior
  • Red eyes, dilated or constricted pupils in regular lighting
  • Diminished quality of work at school or on the job

  • Family Services

    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.
