A family centered approach is something unusual in the world of addiction treatment and mental health counseling. Entering a treatment program or counseling relationship with your loved one helps you grow together in your understanding about addiction and mental health problems while learning ways to recovery from their effects.  The “identified patient” is not responsible for making everyone better.

The family system needs nurturing, counseling and support to grow together. A week long family program is very helpful but an ongoing program for family members makes everyone responsible for their own healing and ultimately for helping the family.

We are here for you.

Help for families and partners of addicts is available. Call us for more information.
