Family Program
Family Involvement
Family therapy is a vital component of effective addiction and mental health treatment and we believe family involvement is a critical part of the healing process. Research continually demonstrates better outcomes for patients who are involved in the family program. Loved ones play a key role in supporting the client’s long-term recovery. We offer a comprehensive family program that includes bi-weekly family workshops and individual family therapy sessions. We provide resources, education, and guidance to help families better understand addiction and mental health issues and learn how they can support their loved ones. Our team works closely with families to ensure that everyone feels informed, empowered, and engaged throughout the recovery process. We aim to shift problematic family dynamics to ensure that changes in treatment are sustained. We honor that the entire family is often impacted by addiction and should be included in the healing process.
Working with Family Systems
Family systems are affected by a wide range of underlying factors like grief, abuse, divorce, mental illness, intergenerational trauma, and more. These contribute to the environment in which addiction and dysfunction forms and persists. At Ascend, family work begins the moment your loved one enters treatment. This marks the start of healing the family system. Families can expect weekly family therapy, regular communication with the care team, and updates from the primary therapist.
Family involvement is crucial for recovery that lasts. Family members are taught how to express their feelings, set clear boundaries, and understand the recovery process all while identifying any emotions that get heightened during the interactions and offering coping mechanisms. We aim to increase self-insight for loved ones.
