For family members who have never had a problem with addiction or have never even touched alcohol or drugs, your addiction might be a problem that they simply cannot relate to. Encourage them to seek counseling for your benefit at your recovery center or to join a support group for families of drug and alcohol addicts. While you’re in an inpatient treatment program, your family can take advantage of the time to really see and evaluate how your addiction has affected the family structure.
Because addiction can affect everyone in different ways, the entire family unit must have the opportunity to come together and heal from addiction or substance use. Individual therapy and group counseling sessions at Gateway Foundation are available to both the patient enrolled in our drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs and their family members. Many treatment centers, such as Choice House, offer addiction psychoeducation to family support in addiction recovery family members close to the recovering addict. This is because addiction is often misunderstood, and people often hold inaccurate beliefs about the disease. The instruction can take place in the form of workshops, individual and group therapy, and sessions with some of the staff at the treatment center. The family will learn about the causes of addiction, triggers, and the various roles family members may take on in the family system.
