Disease of addiction has always been identified as a “Family Disease”. Treating the alcohol/addict is treating just one part of this disease. Treatment for the family members is an instrumental part of the recovery process. “If you always do, what you always did, you will always get what you always got” is a theme that the family counselors try to teach. Whatever tactics family members use to try to get their loved one to stop drinking or drugging or try to control their usage is unsuccessful. No matter how determined a family member is to try to change their alcoholic/addict, they consistently fail. The family program teaches that the instinctive logic of helping and nurturing the one you love does not work in dealing with addiction. What has come naturally in all other situations is now called “Enabling”. The challenge in treating family members is to introduce the concept that “doing less is really doing more”. The family counselors greet the significant other on admission with a family packet or contact them by phone. The counselors are the liaison between the patients primary counselor and themselves and a part of the treatment team. All families are invited to our Family Education Series including the One Day Program. Recovery is a family affair. “Families that recover together, stay together”.
