The family of a person who is addicted to substances or addictive behaviour, is often the first to seek help, sometimes long before the addict does.
They are usually in the best position to motivate the addict towards recovery but often implement ineffective strategies which leaves them feeling powerless and frustrated.
The stigma surrounding any form of addiction makes it hard for the family to talk about their loved one’s problem and the secrecy surrounding addiction, then reinforces the misunderstandings about addiction and how to help the addicted person in the best way possible.
Family members may choose to do individual, stand alone sessions or the full coaching program.
This program aims to educate, equip and support families and the loved ones of those who are addicted to substances or behaviours.
With the right support – families and loved ones can learn how to assess their current crises, gain a better understanding about addiction and how to let go of their co-dependent, enabling and often dysfunctional behavioural patterns that contribute to the problem. You will also learn how to implement strategies that increase the possibility of you getting help and support as well as the addicted person getting the right help so that they can begin to make a productive, sustainable life for themselves as they move from a culture of addiction into a culture of recovery!
