Family Program
We understand that addiction is a family disease that affects the entire family system. That’s why we work with families to provide education and support on the many aspects of addiction. This includes the framework of how to create healthy relationships in recovery and how to support their loved one’s continued progress.
Comprehensive Family Program for Addiction Recovery
Addiction Impacts the Entire Family
Watching someone you love struggle with a substance use disorder is never easy. Drug or alcohol addiction can make your family member lie, cheat, steal, or behave in ways that are completely out of character. You may be dealing with intense feelings of anger, frustration, and anxiety in addition to the worries you have about your loved one’s recovery.
Recovery is about more than simply abstaining from drugs or alcohol. It’s a total lifestyle change, which is why the entire family needs support. Wooded Glen Recovery Center offers a comprehensive family program for spouses, parents, and adult children of clients seeking treatment for alcohol or drug addiction.
