Family treatment is viewed as a vital and necessary component to enhance the recovery of the chemically dependent person, as well as to promote overall family recovery from the effects that chemical dependency has on individual family members. Family members often suffer from denial, self-blame, guilt, a sense of failure, attempting to fix the problem themselves, anxiety, depression, repressed feelings and stress-related illnesses.
The Family Program is provided by Clearbrook for family members of the chemically dependent one weekend a month beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Friday evening and ending at Noon on Sunday.
Families participate in group therapy and individual counseling sessions.
The 12 steps of Al-Anon are incorporated to provide a framework through which compulsive behavior and the enabling process can be changed. In addition, exercises and role playing teach better skills for expressing feelings.
