Family Week Schedule
Alcoholism and addiction affects the entire family system. Studies show that a comprehensive family program is essential to treat and educate not only the individual, but the family as a whole. Central to our program is the family-involved portion called Family Week. We feel that family involvement with the chemically dependent, whether they have a co-occurring diagnosis or not, is essential in ensuring a positive outcome for not only the resident but for the people who love them. Cirque Lodge provides a week of workshops, process groups and Family Systems Therapy.
Family Week takes place every third week of the treatment schedule. It is Tuesday through Friday, and we implore Cirque Lodge family members to come and participate. This portion of the program is integral to any alcohol or drug rehab program, and Cirque Lodge is no different! The Family Program is our most effective instrument in the recovery process. It is our Signature Program!

Family Week includes not only group work with your family system but individual sessions with the resident’s primary counselor as well! It is our experience that family group work, coupled with the individual sessions is where the client gains the most traction in an alcohol or drug rehab program. Do not miss this portion of treatment process!

Education and Support
Education for alcoholism and drug addiction is an integral part of recovery and support. Family members can better support their loved ones in alcohol and addiction treatment by participating in the Family Week Workshops. However we are often asked, “What if I can’t come to the entire week?” or “What if I can’t come at all?” First off, more is better than none. Also Family Week is always available for you. If you can’t come during your loved one’s stay you can come back at any time to participate. We know of no other alcohol or drug rehab program in the country that offers this service. If you can just come for a short period we suggest you come for Tuesday and Wednesday. The Disease Concept lecture is offered on Tuesday’s and it really is foundational to addiction treatment. Don’t miss that! It is the finest lecture of its kind anywhere. Thursday the lecture regarding the “Bridge from Treatment to Recovery” is essential. It helps families to frame their process of what to do next following alcohol or drug rehabilitation and the integral role of 12-step recovery in that process. Of course the therapy work in drug treatment is where we feel the rubber meets the road, but if you can get to any of the lectures regarding the treatment of addiction, get to these!
As a side note, breakfast and lunch are included in our Family Week. Family members are also asked to take part in the Al-anon meeting that is available at the Cirque Lodge Studio Facility on Wednesday Evening. Primarily, the majority of the elements of our Family Programming take place at the Studio Facility.
