FAMILY PROGRAM Call (800)227-3953

Thirty years of experience has shown us that family involvement in the treatment process is essential for the full restoration of health and well-being to your family unit. Research tells us that recovery rates are increased by as much as 50% when the family is involved in the treatment process. Since it is our desire to provide our patients and their families with the most effective treatment possible, we have made family participation an integral part of our program.
Our intensive, one week Family Program is designed to assist family members in discovering how addiction has affected the family and each member in the family. The week begins with an orientation at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon and concludes the following Thursday.
During this week of lectures, videos, group therapy, and personal exercises, families gain new communication skills for the purpose of achieving healthier relationships and begin the journey toward their own recovery from co-dependency.
