FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

Loved ones suffer when someone they care about is struggling with an addiction. At Sagebrush, we believe that addiction is a family disease. Family involvement in the treatment process is encouraged as it can provide a source of support to a newly recovering person. Family members have the opportunity to participate in the treatment process by attending the family program.

 

Family Program

During this time of small groups, lectures, videos and personal exercises, families learn about the disease of addiction and why it has taken them to this place. You will learn new communication skills for the purpose of achieving healthier relationships. You will gain a deeper understanding of addiction and its consequences, and you will emerge with a greater sense of clarity, awareness and purpose.

 

Family Visitation

Family members are welcome to visit their loved one at Sagebrush upon the recommendation of their Primary Therapist. By working through hard feelings and pain, families can become healthier. Understanding what addiction is, courageously addressing the issues that are unresolved and learning new ways to communicate can bring a renewed sense of hope for the future.
