When addiction takes hold, its effects impact not just the individual who’s dealing with addiction but also their family and friends. While loved ones and family members may genuinely care and want to offer support, addiction and its symptoms can often be misunderstood.

What Can Family Therapy Do For You?
No one gets to choose the family they’re born into, but family can be a source of incredible support and love, especially when times are hard. While no one’s family is perfect, families can work together to find better and healthier habits. Letting your family in on the process of recovery can strengthen relationships, providing more stability for those in treatment. There are multiple benefits to having family involved in recovery, including:
- Higher levels of engagement and motivation during treatment
- Better knowledge and understanding of addiction within the family unit
- Improved ability to communicate concerns or ask questions about a family member’s addiction
- Lower levels of fear, anxiety, and stress surrounding the addiction
- Opportunities to address any underlying issues, such as depression, PTSD, bipolar, or other mental health symptoms within the family that can complicate recovery
- Opportunities to learn skills and strategies to assist loved ones in maintaining a drug- and substance-free lifestyle
Those with family members who get involved in their recovery can find longer-lasting sobriety and have an easier time getting help in case of relapse. Family therapy can give both the individual and their family a stronger footing in the fight against addiction.
