Family Support Intervention Program (a 45 second overview)

 

Any addiction compulsive gambling through to alcohol or other drugs has a significant effect on both the individual and their family members. As an alcoholic or addicted person's life becomes progressively more self-destructive, their behaviour becomes more chaotic and unpredictable.
This has a profound effect on family members physically, mentally and emotionally.

Craig and his coaching team have developed a wonderful caring program and invites individual family members to participate in the recovery process of their loved ones.

Addiction and relationship issues more often or not affect the whole family. Therefore Craig and his caring addiction coaching team is devoted to helping families understand these addictions, isues and challenges and a family 'discovery programme' has been specially created a five-day Family Program.

It is is based on the understanding that when the 'patient' returns to the family environment, the dynamics of the family will change. It is therefore vitally important that family members and friends receive an education regarding the patient's dysfunctional behavior, what created it, and what they can now expect after treatment at our retreats and the future now for the client and family.

The program provides family members with:

  • An understanding of the psychological, medical, & spiritual affects of addiction;
  • The process of recovery;
  • Meaningful ways of supporting their loved one through their recovery;
  • Referral to resources available to them in their community.

We also offer clients and their families a forum to:

  • learn positive communication skills,
  • address chronic issues and concerns with the guidance of one of our coaching team
  • create mutual understanding of each others needs

On completion of the Family Program, clients and individual family members have the foundation to rebuild their relationships with each other, heal past wounds and create a new beginning for love and intimacy.

The goal of the Family Program is to help the client, family members and friends have the tools and be able to develop honest and healthy relationships.

The Family Program is designed to bring awareness, understanding and resolution, for both the patient and family members, so they can begin the process of healing their own wounds and grievances. Participants explore their roles in relation to the 'patient'. The client then joins them in multifamily interaction groups.

This helps develop new healthier interactions, promoting lasting healing and enhancing relationships at a wonderful deeper level and intimacy for all concerned.
