Where Your Family Will Find Hope and Healing
The goal of ACI’s Family Support Program is to provide education, emotional support, and hope to families impacted by the disease of addiction. We are fully committed to the belief that family involvement is fundamental for the care and treatment of a recovering family member. ACI’s family treatments are focused on helping the family system regain integrity and balance. This is accomplished by it's partnership with the family, assessing the family dynamics, and developing an individualized treatment plan to help all the family members get back on track so they can move forward on their own journey of recovery and healing.
How We Help
- We teach the family about the disease of addiction and how it has impacted family functioning.
- We help the family process and cope with the anger and frustration brought about by their loved one's addiction.
- Family members learn how to take care of their own emotional and physical needs that may have been neglected because one was taking care of their loved one.
- We provide family members with the emotional support necessary to keep family functioning at an optimal physical and emotional level.
