Family Rehab and Treatment Programs in Indiana

Indiana Center for Recovery values family involvement in the treatment process. We have created a structured family program that allows you to participate in your loved one’s care.

Addiction affects all members of the family. Often, family members develop coping mechanisms that are not always helpful in the recovery process:

• Ignoring the problem, or denial
• Punishing or using “tough love” to control a loved one
• Trying to control what their family member does, or has, in an effort to stop drug use
• Disowning the family member or alienating them
• Living in anger and resentment

Feeling supported and understood makes the treatment process easier for family members. The addicted family member is removed from the situation and placed in a safe environment. This creates a sense of relief and safety. This is only a beginning! Families affected by addiction often feel isolated and alienated, and our goal is to help you prepare for discharge and beyond.

Every family is different. We invite you to participate in your loved one’s recovery process. Family therapy and our family program support and educate family members and promote positive coping and communication strategies.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) identifies two primary goals for family involvement in addiction treatment:

• Provide helpful support for the individual in drug treatment. Individuals in substance use disorder treatment improve their chances of long-term recovery through family therapy. Therapy lowers the chance of relapsing and assists in changing behaviors and attitudes.
• Improve the emotional health of the family as a whole. The purpose of therapy is to encourage trust and forgiveness among family members. Additionally, it eases conflict and the sense of continuing crisis by dispelling negative emotions.
