Family Program

It all begins Right Here, Right Now Chemically dependent families, like all families, seem to generate a particular system--what we might call a family life-style-that is the unique product of that family's strengths, weaknesses, and general characteristics.

Understanding a family system helps explain the action and behavior of the family as a whole, as well as that of each of its members. This is especially true of families who have experienced chemical problems. In chemically dependent families, recurring patterns emerge and seem to have general applicability.

Families with chemical problems share similar dynamics, rules, and behavior that both characterize and help to shape their systems. Insight into these three areas should help to explain many of the difficulties a chemically dependent family faces in the recovery process when the family is reaching for a new system, a new life-style.

At Recovery Pointe, we help families, partners and significant others recognize that addiction is a disease that can be treated so that healing can begin. We also help them learn what they can personally do to not only help in their loved one's recovery, but their own as well.

Program Components:

  • Education on the enabling system. It becomes difficult for many addicts to continue their addiction without the support of their chief enablers.
  • Family and friends receive basic alcohol and drug education. When the people that are closest to the addicted person understand the disease, they are better able to deal with it.
  • Participants are exposed to the local treatment resources. The family becomes aware of and may even visit the local treatment centers. When the addicted person reaches out for help in the future, he or she will be able to act quickly.
  • The conspiracy of silence is broken. Just the fact that the family is able to sit together and speak openly about the problems that have occurred over the years is very important. Often there have been incidents that were kept secret
  • The family is exposed to self-help groups. This groups act as support for the recovering family.
  • Referrals for ancillary services as needed
