Family Services & Support

Addiction is a family disease which affects not only the individual but also their family. PaRC provides an intensive Family Program to support family members as well as the individual who is in treatment. This includes education as well as interfacing with other families who are going through the same things in regard to their love one’s addiction.

While loved ones are engaged in PaRC’s, Family Program, they learn three important concepts: they did not cause the addiction; they cannot control the addiction; and they cannot cure the addiction. Family drug treatment encompasses learning about the contributing factors that lead to addiction. During family recovery, they also receive counseling. PaRC helps families cope with their emotions around their loved one’s addiction and the ramifications of the misuse of drugs or alcohol. PaRC teaches them how to protect themselves from the effects of addiction and how to support their loved one’s recovery while also healing themselves.

• Family Orientation. You will attend this orientation once. The group is led by a family counselor. It will help you understand what family drug addiction rehab support is available at PaRC. You will learn what to expect from your loved one and from PaRC staff while your family member is in treatment. Your questions will be addressed so that you feel comfortable knowing what our treatment at PaRC entails.
• Family Education. This is free for one year. This is a four-week series led by a PaRC counselor. It includes education and meetings on many topics. You will learn about addiction and the 12 steps. You will learn to better communicate with your family members. Topics such as codependency, enabling and boundaries will be discussed. Additionally, the roles of a family and support groups that are available for family members to start their own healing and recovery are explored.

“I want to express my appreciation for all the family classes I attended. The Two-Day Family Program was informative and real. PaRC has world-class programs. All of the PaRC team members I have met in the past month have been very knowledgeable. They were helpful and super nice. It is good to know PaRC is there when I need them. Thanks to all the PaRC staff.” – Edsel D.
