Family Programme Addiction Recovery

Family involvement in rehabilitation

Psychologists work with family members to understand relationships, challenges and behaviours, and to agree on constructive goals. Families receive at least two counselling sessions as part of the programme, and family therapy sessions based on SATIR and TREATNET principles run every two weeks within a 28-day period.

Benefits for families

The programme runs alongside the client’s own treatment, addressing communication, boundaries and understanding of addiction’s impact on the whole family system so everyone is supported together.

• Identify signs and risks of relapse
• Establish healthy roles, boundaries and communication
• Develop new ways to respond to problems with empathy and clarity
• Access support groups and recovery knowledge such as NA or AA where suitable

Who takes part

Family members and loved ones of clients in treatment are welcome to join, helping them better understand addiction and rebuild trust alongside their family member’s own recovery.
