Family Support

The Family Support Program at House of freedom is designed to work concurrently with the client’s treatment. Having a family member in treatment can be difficult for all who are involved. It can often cloud the ability to make the right decisions when it comes to helping that family member during and post treatment.

The House of freedom Family Support Program focuses on understanding the disease of addiction and how it impacts everyone in a family, constructive problem resolution and continuing care for the whole family.

Family members learn about various family dynamics and tools that they can use to build healthy family systems with someone in recovery. In addition, specific information regarding the family member in treatment is incorporated to ensure a lasting recovery for the client and healthy family dynamics.

THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE HOUSE OF FREEDOM FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM INCLUDE:

  • Educating the family about addiction
  • Briefing the family about what to expect from the treatment program and how to cooperate for maximum benefit
  • Introduction to Al-Anon family support groups
  • Counseling for personal issues, conflict resolution and stress management
  • Participation in structured intervention sessions with clients in treatment treatment
  • Communication exercises between the client and family members
  • Participation in the client’s relapse prevention plan
