Having a strong support network is vital in addiction recovery, and it’s even more beneficial when that support network is built with the people who love and care for you more than anyone in this life. Family Therapy Programs at Rockland Recovery help families heal, learn about addiction, and how to support recovery. They also offer a safe space to share personal experiences while building a community.

Importance of Family Support for Addiction Treatment
At Rockland Recovery, we recognize the importance of family in addiction recovery. A strong family connection can help support the individual throughout recovery, offering encouragement, support, a sense of belonging, and a sense of purpose.
We also recognize that when addiction is present, it can tear apart these important relationships at the seams. Addiction family therapy helps repair, strengthen, and grow family relationships.
We view the need for family involvement in rehab from two perspectives – the needs of the individual going through rehab and the needs of the family members. Addiction doesn’t occur without wreckage, and in our closest relationships, this can mean feelings of hurt, anger, confusion, mistrust, endless worry, and betrayal. When healing begins to happen, the family is better able to support their loved one through recovery.
What Happens in Addiction Family Therapy?
At Rockland Recovery, we’re highly invested in a comprehensive, holistic approach to recovery, and this is a philosophy that extends into our Family Therapy Program.
At the heart of family therapy is a multi-faceted approach that includes addiction education through workshops, an emphasis on personal care, coping strategies, and boundary setting, and community through support groups that offer a safe space for families to share and connect.
Our educational workshops are designed to help families better understand addiction as a disease and the different available treatment options. Families also learn how to recognize their loved one’s triggers, identify relapse, and how to best help their loved one seek the care they need.
Our addiction counseling staff includes experts who have a high level of experience in family and relationship therapy. We’re here to support family members, whether it’s through individual therapy to cope with the trauma of addiction or family therapy to encourage healing as a unit.
When Your Loved One Needs Help
Admitting the need for rehab is an important but difficult step. When your loved one is suffering from substance misuse, it can leave you with intense worry and fear, both for the individual and for the future. It’s normal to feel a range of emotions, and acknowledging your loved one has an addiction can feel a lot like moving through the stages of grief.
We understand how you’re feeling, but we want you to know that there is hope for recovery.
If your loved one needs help, but you aren’t sure where to turn, we urge you to reach out to us at 888-299-4833. Additionally, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) offers a 24-hour National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4257), and a confidential online directory of addiction treatment options that are local to you.
