Alcohol Rehab Focused on the Family
Every third week of alcohol rehab is focused on the Family. Residents of Cirque Lodge are encouraged to involve their family members in this programming. Family Week runs from Tuesday through Friday. Each day provides different education and therapeutic elements to the family and their loved one in alcohol or drug rehab. It gives the family a chance to see their loved one in alcohol treatment and to learn things needed for the recovery process. Alcoholism is a family problem. Loved ones must work together in support to overcome these struggles.
Family members may be completely unaware of how behavior is affecting their alcoholic loved one. The majority of relationships, where addiction is involved, can be classed as codependent. Living this way enables the alcoholic to drink. Part of family week is to better educate family members on the nature and behavior of addiction. They learn about codependency and ways to avoid the behaviors that enable. Special sessions are also provides to help the family with communication and with honest feelings.
Family Week also gives the loved ones of our residents a chance to experience the Cirque Lodge first hand. Our chefs provide delicious breakfasts and lunches each day. Experiential activities are available for participation. Therapy and care is even provided by the counselors of our treatment staff. Effective support is needed after alcohol rehab is completed. A supportive home can be a solid foundation for continuing the recovery process. Family Week can provide the education and help needed for this to become a reality.
