At Puthiya Pathai deaddiction center, we recognize that families can serve as a stable platform to support substance using individuals to rebuild their lives.

Structure

As an evidence-based practice, we believe family involvement in the treatment of addictive disease is essential. We recognize that families care for their loved ones, are often hurt by the destructive effects of addiction, and can aid or impair recovery. Consequently, we involve the family very early and throughout the treatment program at Puthiya Pathai deaddiction center.

Family Counseling

We encourage family members to participate in regular weekly counseling sessions in order to initiate the necessary healing within the family relationships, address co-dependency and enabling behaviors, and facilitate setting of boundaries and limits. We adopt a system based approach to rebuild appropriate roles and relationships within the family unit. In addition, we work with both the guests and their families to identify issues that will need to be addressed after discharge of guest.

Family Involvement

Family members are asked to participate during the assessment process are informed about the clinical progress of the guest and are involved in the development of aftercare plans. We maintain an ongoing dialogue with the family members and encourage feedback onthe progress of the guest. This collaborative approach that values and respects family input is an integral part of our philosophy.

Family Support

Addiction negatively impacts both the people struggling with addiction and their family. Taking the first steps to finding help is not always easy. It takes courage, determination, and patience. A loved one may be so deep in their addiction that they resist help. They may not believe or understand that they have a problem. But family is uniquely positioned to help someone struggling with addiction find treatment. The best advocate for a loved one with addiction is the family unit. Through love, concern, and compassion, a family can often convince a loved one they need help.
