Family Program

Family Support During Treatment

Addiction impacts everyone connected to the person suffering, common things we hear from families include:

  • Mothers not sleeping, worrying about their child’s wellbeing.
  • Husbands on the brink of divorce, feeling abandoned and betrayed by their partner’s actions.
  • Fathers grappling with anger, wondering if the addiction is their fault
  • Wives being pulled into a cycle of hope and despair, continually hoping things will change.
  • Friends wanting to help but struggling with boundaries and end up enabling or distancing 

 

We address all of these thoughts and behaviors in our family program designed for loved ones of clients in our care. Our dedication to open communication and our involvement with families is central to our programming. We understand the anguish families face, and our aim is to bridge the chasm created by addiction. Our family programs are not just for the short-term; they provide support that many families have leaned on for decades.

What Families Can Expect

Our Family Program runs each month and all families have the opportunity to attend while their loved one is in treatment. Here is what families can expect from New Found Life throughout treatment, during family weekend and after treatment:

  • Counseling: Personalized support tailored to each family’s unique situation.
