Family is considered an essential part of the treatment process. Addictions and behavioral disorders do not exist in isolation. The entire family is affected and suffers greatly. They often feel helpless and live in fear and anxiety.
For those family members who feel they have tried everything to help their loved one, this program offers an opportunity for hope, healing, and family reunification.
Our Family Program is designed to bring awareness, understanding, and behavioral change for clients, families, and significant others. Through education, therapy, and experiential exercises, participants learn how to change unhealthy communication and behavioral patterns, and strengthen family and personal relationships.
Individual family sessions are part of the overall treatment process and made available to all our clients. If it isn't possible for a family member or spouse to participate in person, technology is available to perform conference calls for long-distant participation.
Residential Family Therapy Program:
For those wishing to participate , the Vince Carter Sanctuary also offers free room and board to immediate family members during an extended weekend monthly, for our Residential Family Therapy Program. This may be coordinated through our Family Therapist. For details, please call (800) 478-0331.
