About this live event
Substance Use Disorders often affect not only the individual but also their families, who can play a critical role in the recovery process. This clinical training will explore the vital role that family involvement plays in the treatment of addiction, highlighting strategies for engaging family members as active participants in their loved one's recovery journey.
Attendees will learn evidence-based approaches to family therapy, including how to assess family dynamics, establish healthy communication patterns, and address dysfunctional behaviors that may contribute to the cycle of addiction. We will cover practical techniques for clinicians to help families set appropriate boundaries, provide emotional support, and become part of the healing process. Emphasis will also be placed on how to treat the family as a unit, addressing issues such as codependency, enabling, and the emotional impact of addiction on all members of the household. All with the goal of establishing full family recovery.
By fostering a collaborative, family-centered approach, clinicians can empower families to contribute positively to their loved one's recovery, while also providing them with the tools and support they need to heal themselves. Ultimately, this training will help professionals understand how to treat not only the individual suffering from addiction but the entire family system, creating a foundation for long-term recovery and improved relational dynamics.
