Addiction is a complex disease that has a negative effect on all aspects of a person's life. It affects daily functioning as well as relationships with friends and family. By learning more about addiction and its consequences, people can slowly confront and manage the physical, emotional, social, and community impacts of their drug and alcohol abuse. Providence Behavioral Medicine Services offers comprehensive care for individuals and families as they work toward recovery.
Family Counseling for Addiction
Individual and group family counseling helps family members and other loved ones understand and cope with the effects of addiction. Participants will explore co-dependency issues, the progression of addiction, expectations of recovery, the importance of maintaining and building personal support systems, ways to recognize the signs of chemical dependency, relapse prevention skills, communication and relationship skills, and the value of 12-step programs. The goal is to help families restore trust and hope as they heal from the scars of chemical dependency.
