Family Involvement in our program
Family and significant others are an important part of the treatment. Each client's therapist helps her to establish relationship and family goals on a weekly basis. Family work involves sessions, having meals together, passes and even overnight excursions. All of this is important to help facilitate full recovery.
A family/significant other group is scheduled every week, although we realize many significant others may not be able to attend all of these. A family weekend is scheduled once a month and we highly encourage everyone to participate. Individual family sessions are set up on an as-needed basis. If family members or significant others cannot travel to the facility, we set up phone conference sessions. In very rare cases, sessions with family members or significant others are contraindicated, at least for a period of time. The therapist will explain this decision and work with the significant others, as appropriate, on this issue.
