Family Programme
Caron believes it is imperative to engage an individual’s family from the onset of treatment.
We put a major emphasis on treating the family as part of the treatment and recovery process. Family involvement in treatment is vital for long-term recovery, particularly because the entire family has been impacted by the disease of addiction.
Family / Parent Workshops and Support Groups will address the following topics:
- The Family/Parent component will be interfaced with the Adolescent Program
- How to raise responsible healthy children in today’s challenging world
- Once is not enough: healthy communication strategies
- Don’t give our power away: rule setting consequences and trust
- Why good kids sometimes make bad choices: building a solid foundation of protective factors
- “Not my kid,” where this is smoke, there is fire…resources for continued support for parents and children during adolescence
Additionally, families will be given information about the disease concept of addiction, 12-Step programs, recovery tools, relapse issues, mental health issues, strategies for empowering the family, and other topics crucial for family education and recovery efforts. Family involvement in treatment is vital for the adolescent’s long-term recovery chances.
