Family Services

Improving relationshipsamong family members and partners corresponds with more successful treatment outcomes. We help family members and close friends better understand what addiction is and its impact on relationships, the challenges involved in overcoming those relationship issues, and what they can do after treatment to provide helpful support to their loved one. Our complimentary Family Services are designed for the family, not the client. We want to help families better understand their loved ones struggles and equip them with the needed tools to support loved ones once theyre finished treatment. The Family Services are primarily educational rather than therapeutic. The code of ethics for counsellors is quite clear: Dont bring up anything you cant resolve before you finish. Most family issues are very complex and it would be unethical to pretend we could help solve them in two days. After finishing with Family Services, we encourage and help connect families with therapists in their local community for any deeper work they would like to do. Families can attend the Virtual Family Session while their loved one is in treatment with us or anytime afterwards. There is no expiry date on family members attending this bi-weekly virtual session.
