Family Therapy and Alcohol Counseling in CA
Olympia House Rehab’s family therapy services and alcohol counseling in CA offers a safe place for recognition, education, and healing. Addiction is commonly referred to as a “family disease,” implying that it’s not just the addict who suffers from the disease. The family is an interconnected network; when one part of the network is affected, all parts are.
Untreated alcohol and drug addiction can sometimes affect family members in very obvious and very subtle ways. Behaviors, attitudes, and even physical health are at the mercy of untreated addiction. This can lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and resentment for those who love the addicted person. Our professional treatment services and alcohol counseling in CA can help families start their recovery journeys.
Common questions include
- Why do they keep hurting themselves?
- Why can’t they just quit it?
- When are they going to change?
- Why can’t they change for me?
Family therapy focuses on
- Helping to change the interactions between family members
- Group problem solving
- Identifying the strengths and resources within the family in order to develop ways to live without substance abuse
Families can be described in any number of ways. From experience, Olympia House realizes and acknowledges that families come in many forms and varieties of individuals. As a part of our commitment to honoring diversity, we are unbiased toward our clients’ varying experiences and committed to fostering a respect for differences.
