Addiction is a considered a family disease, as it affects people who are closely connected to that individual. Most drug rehab programs around have left out the family as far as helping them heal as well. Most family members or loved ones have spent time and effort trying to help the addicted person with not much luck. More than often there is symptoms of codendancy, such as money lending, limited or no healthy boundaries, and enabling to name a few. From what we have found is that counselling and educating all those involved with a Family Program is proven to leave better communication and healthy behaviours for all.
