Families of addicts at The Recovery Place learn how to build a healthy support system that strengthens the recovery process. Help for families of drug addicts is important, since no member of the family is left untouched by the destructive addictive behavior. We provide help for parents of drug addicts, as well as spouses, children and extended family and friends. Family roles in addiction develop over many years. In order for the addicts to receive healthy support from the families, family focused therapies are crucial. Family members of drug addicts learn to understand their roles, and are then able to more positively help their loved ones during the recovery process. Some members of our treatment team have experienced addictions first hand. Pamela, a lead clinician at TRP, has been clean for 21 years. Her empathy and understanding make her a powerful support for both addicts and the family of addicts.
