Family Program
The purpose of family program therapy is to help members of the family work through challenges and tough times in a way that uncovers the underlying problem in hopes of bringing the family closer together. When loved ones enter rehab for either a substance use disorder, mental health disorder, or both, the family system is often cracked or broken due to the extreme stress tied to the addiction and related behaviors.
A significant component of substance abuse and mental health treatment is involving the family during therapy. Many experts believe that substance use disorders are a family disease, meaning that if one family member struggles with addiction, then the entire family unit is in disequilibrium.
