Family Addiction Support
While substance use impacts individuals, it also deeply effects the people in their lives. Dedicated and caring parents and partners can understandably be overwhelmed by this problem in their family.
If you are experiencing the pain of seeing a loved one struggle with substance use and do not, despite popular advice, feel comfortable detaching and watching them βhit rock bottom,β there is an alternative.
My work with families is based on Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT). CRAFT is a respectful, empowering, and empirically based therapy approach that is in line with the principles of harm reduction.
You are in a unique position to support your loved one. You can reduce conflict, make sense out of chaos, preserve your relationship, and influence your loved one to reduce their use and seek treatment.
