Family Program and Support Families of Loved Ones

Families struggling with substance use disorder (SUD) benefit from participating in our intensive family program, family therapy, and family group sessions. Substance abuse impacts family members in many different ways. Our family-centered treatment program gives clients and their loved ones the tools and resources to heal from the effects of drug and alcohol addiction. New Found Life is a Los Angeles family addiction treatment center that offers ongoing support to individuals experiencing SUD or dual diagnosis. Our programs help families move forward in their healing journey and find hope for the future. 

Family Support During Treatment

Our alcohol and drug rehab programs prioritize family involvement in the treatment process. The family program offers addiction recovery and mental health services in addition to family therapy and other forms of treatment. Our program is designed to strengthen family bonds and create healthier family dynamics that foster personal growth and mutual healing. We ensure every client’s well-being by using a tailored treatment plan to address family issues and the underlying causes of addictive behaviors.

The entire family unit feels the impact of alcohol and drug addiction. Some of the things we hear from families experiencing SUD include: 

  • Mothers unable to sleep due to worrying about their child’s well-being
  • Husbands on the brink of divorce, feeling abandoned or betrayed by their partner’s behaviors
  • Fathers grappling with anger and frustration, wondering if they somehow caused the addiction
  • Wives being pulled into a cycle of hope and despair, continually praying that things will change
  • Friends wanting to help and struggling with boundaries, unintentionally enabling the addictive behaviors, or distancing themselves

We specialize in addressing all of these thoughts and behaviors in our family program, which is designed for the loved ones of clients in our care. Our dedication to open communication and family involvement is central to our programming. We understand the anguish families face, and we aim to bridge the chasm created by addiction. Our family programs are not just for the short term; they provide support that many families have leaned on for decades. The Los Angeles family addiction support programs offered at New Found Life help individuals in California achieve long-term recovery.

Is Addiction a Family Disease?

Genetic factors may play a role in the development of dependency and substance use disorders. In addition, individuals with a family history of substance use disorders have a higher likelihood of experiencing addiction. Rehabilitation programs help stop the cycle of multigenerational substance abuse. Our addiction treatment center assists families in identifying and addressing the underlying causes of addiction, educating families on the effects of multigenerational substance abuse.

The comprehensive family program gives clients the tools to build a healthy support system of friends and family to help them navigate recovery. Loved ones often play an essential role in the recovery process. Our programs address issues affecting the family unit to ensure clients develop healthy relationships during rehabilitation.

What Families Can Expect

Our family program runs each month, and all families have the opportunity to attend while their loved one is in treatment. Families can expect the following from New Found Life throughout treatment, during family weekend, and after treatment:

  • Counseling: Personalized support tailored to each family’s unique situation
  • Educational Forums: Led by top experts, these forums dive deep into understanding addiction and its effect on families
  • Ongoing Support Groups: Weekly support groups for families of addicts that continue even after treatment ends
  • Introduction to 12-Step Programs: Foundational to New Found Life’s approach, understanding the Twelve Steps from an Al-Anon perspective can bring clarity and healing.
  • Specialized Therapeutic Offerings: Activities like equine therapy that promote trust, communication, and healing in a unique way

Addiction treatment programs give families the tools to build stronger and healthier relationships. Therapy sessions and group meetings provide every member of the family unit a safe space to express themselves and find healing.

Our Treatment Programs

We teach essential coping skills to clients and ensure their families understand how best to support the recovery process during rehabilitation and aftercare. A nurturing home environment and strong emotional support from family members significantly reduce the risk of relapse. 

We offer the following treatment options and services:

  • Referrals to detox programs 
  • Inpatient care
  • Outpatient treatment 
  • Aftercare 
  • Alumni support 

Families benefit from taking advantage of our support groups for families of addicts. We encourage family members to actively engage with the treatment process and provide emotional support to their loved one as they go through the stages of recovery.

Therapeutic Modalities at New Found Life

Some of the therapeutic modalities we use to facilitate healing for family members and their loved ones include: 

  • Individual and group therapy 
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Experiential therapy
  • 12-Step facilitation (TSF)
  • Family therapy

Our substance abuse treatment center specializes in offering tailored care to individuals in Los Angeles County. Therapy sessions provide a supportive environment to young adults and others struggling with addiction. We understand every recovery journey is unique and requires personalized, evidence-based care.

Family Program and Dual Diagnosis

Some individuals with SUD have one or more co-occurring mental health disorders. We treat dual diagnosis by addressing the root causes of mental health issues and helping clients develop coping skills for managing their recovery. Mental health conditions affect overall wellness and behavioral health by impacting mood, emotional regulation, and motivation. Our family program gives families context for mental health issues by providing psychoeducation. Families learn and heal together under the guidance of our trained care team.

A New Beginning Awaits

Our treatment services provide support for families of addicts struggling with addiction. Families emerge from our program transformed, with new knowledge about the disease of addiction, and they are equipped with tools on how to support their loved one while taking care of themselves. Reach out today and start the journey to recovery together.

Family support plays a vital role in rehabilitation from substance abuse. Close friends and family members often know how best to support their loved ones during the difficult moments in recovery. However, families may struggle to understand how to avoid unintentionally enabling maladaptive behaviors. Treatment programs provide families with the information they need to help their loved one heal and move forward in their recovery. Family programs also help every member of the family process and recover from the impact of their loved one’s substance abuse. New Found Life offers family programs and services to prepare clients and their loved ones for long-term sobriety.
