We aid family members in developing personal insights and new ways of dealing with and living with an addicted person. This phase is scheduled on a monthly basis. Phase II consists of 12 weekly group therapy sessions. This phase of ongoing group therapy provides the support families need to continue the positive changes they have begun. Because the problems of adolescent addiction require more intensive family involvement, Phase II meetings for family members of addicted adolescents involve two meetings each week, as well as regular family and individual conferences.
Family members register for the program when the addicted person is admitted for treatment.
Families in need, but without someone in treatment, may register at any time. Even if the addicted person refuses treatment, we offer aid to the family. Children's Services Two out of three children in the United States are affected by chemical dependency or gambling addiction . Children living with an addicted person often develop behavior and personality patterns that have long-term effects on their lives. These children have difficulty communicating and trusting others.
