Do You Offer Support for Families? Can family members be involved in treatment?

Absolutely! The family can be an important resource in recovery. We offer family support to ensure that healing is also being done at home for a comprehensive approach to change. Families learning about addiction, supporting practices, and their own self-care, communication, and boundaries create the best approach for sustainable change. We provide family counseling/therapy, educational resources/workshops, and support groups to help loved ones be involved in and navigate the recovery process.
