How Does the Family Program Work?
 

The Inn's Family program is dedicated to educating and counseling the families of clients in substance abuse treatment.  To strengthen family support for the client and prevent relapse, the Family Program holds: 

      • Orientation workshops for family and friends to help them understand addiction and the treatment process. 
      • Weekly counseling sessions in which family members examine their own roles and discuss the changes they need to make in support of the addict's recovery. 
      • Monthly family dinners at the Inn, where clients can gather with spouses, children, parents and siblings for food, fellowship and fun; an excellent way to begin rebuilding family relationships.
      • We also offer a youth prevention program designed to educate the offspring of our target population about substance abuse:  The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a nationally accredited, scientifically based model that addresses familial communication, leisure activities, educational activities and parenting disciplines.
