Family therapy is an integral part of rehab for a reason. Before getting treatment, many people do not realize how addiction affects family and friends. They know that their substance use has consequences, but it is hard to realize just how much it has changed everyone’s lives.

At Red Oak Recovery, we know how hard addiction can be on friends and family members. However, with treatment, there is hope. We offer a family counseling program as part of our addiction treatment programs. This program gives family, friends, and the person suffering from substance use the tools they need to overcome addiction. For more information about our treatment programs, please contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.

Learning About How Addiction Affects Family and Friends

An addiction can quickly work to change a family dynamic. A spouse or partner may try to enable the individual by providing financial support or covering for them. But, often, loved ones will be in denial about the individual’s drug or alcohol abuse.

Sometimes, a loved one will take on the role of caretaker. For example, they may feel responsible for caring for the individual’s physical health because the individual is constantly sick because of their addiction. Before long, the family member or friend may stop paying attention to their own needs to care for the individual.

Many people do not understand how addiction affects family and friends financially and socially. When someone has an addiction, they may isolate themselves. This isolation may be to protect loved ones or to hide the severity of their addiction. In some cases, the individual even loses that relationship entirely because of their isolation or desire to hang out with friends who also use drugs.

An addiction can affect an individual’s financial health. They may steal or make compulsive purchases that end up hurting their family. Drugs and alcohol can even make the individual violent. They may abuse loved ones when they are under the influence.

Getting Family Therapy to Treat an Addiction

Learning how addiction affects family and friends is essential, but it is only one step in the recovery process. At addiction treatment programs for men, clients have a chance to start rebuilding their relationships. They learn how addiction affects family and friends during each therapy session. As a result, family members have an opportunity to open up and share how they feel.

Ultimately, addiction is a family disease. Every person in the family suffers from an addiction, so each family member needs support during the recovery process. At an addiction treatment center, clients can work with their families to learn more about the impact of their addiction and what they can do to heal any rifts. With time and effort, families can overcome substance use disorders together. We provide treatment for a wide variety of addictions, including:

  • Alcohol addiction
  • Heroin addiction
  • Cocaine addiction
  • Opioid addiction

To learn more about our services, please contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.
