Welcome
When a family member is struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol, his or her problem becomes the family’s problem. Everyone who lives with an addict is affected by their wild and erratic behavior, the problems that arise at school or work, and the constant arguments and broken promises to stop drinking or using.
If this is your experience, you know all too well how this disease can affect not just every member of the family every part of everyfamily member’s life.
There’s an organization that understands this, and they’ve designed a therapeutic approach to help the whole family recover from the anger, chaos and disappointment that go hand in hand with addiction. That group is Family Recovery, and they do just what their name implies.
Family Recovery provides support for the other people who are affected by addiction. Family members, spouses or partners, friends—all these people have felt the impact of the addict’s self-destructive behavior, and they need to experience their own unique form of recovery.
Most treatment programs focus solely on the alcoholic/addict, assuming that everyone else will be fine as soon as “the one with the problem” is “fixed.” Family Recovery recognizes that, within the family unit, there’s no such thing as “the one with the problem.”
Sure, the alcoholic/addict has the most obvious problems, but everyone else has felt hurt, frustration, abandonment, fear…the list goes on. And even if the addict gets “fixed” (whatever that means), the family relationships still need time to heal.
Family Recovery is where that healing can be found. You’ll have the time, the caring support, and the instruction you need in order to make every member of your family whole again. Help is just a phone call away.
