Family therapy involves addressing the entire family as a unit to work on the underlying issues contributing to addiction and promote a healthy environment for recovery.
The main goal of family therapy is to improve family functioning and help promote healthy communication patterns that support the individual struggling with addiction.
A big piece of family therapy is to educate family members about addiction, the effects it has on the individual, and how they can support their loved one.
Family therapy assists in recognizing and addressing enabling behaviors, codependent relationships, and dysfunctional family dynamics while creating a supportive environment for the individual to maintain sobriety.
Family therapy is a specialized approach that we offer at Strive Health & Wellness. We believe that to truly help heal someone struggling with addiction, you must treat the family as well. This is because of the dysfunction that surrounds the loved one struggling with addiction. Addiction has a severe impact on the family as a whole unit. The primary goal of family therapy is for the family to recognize the behaviors and to engage in new and healthy communication patterns. This promotes awareness and improves relationships.
At Strive Health & Wellness, we educate and guide families on the disease of addiction, its effects on the individual struggling, and teach them how they can play a vital role in their loved ones recovery. By working together, families can heal and help create a solid foundation for the individual’s recovery.
