At Station House we believe that the whole family’s involvement in a client’s treatment plays a huge role in their long term recovery. The client’s primary therapist will encourage family sessions, either in person, or through a video conference call. During these sessions, the family members are able to share with their loved one about how their addiction has affected them and their lives. It also gives the client a chance to express their feelings and perspectives to their family and show them how much they’ve progressed in treatment. Therapists will often schedule separate sessions with the family members and educate them on how to live and interact with someone in early recovery. First Responders are typically very family-oriented so getting their families involved in the process is very important in keeping them clean and sober.
