Addiction and mental health disorders impact not just the individual but also everyone who loves and supports them. At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we believe that the healing process is most powerful when families are included in the journey. That’s why we offer dedicated family therapy for addiction recovery and specialized workshops designed to help families grow stronger together.
If your loved one is in treatment for substance use, mental health issues, or both, family therapy during rehab provides a vital space for healing. It allows you to address past hurt, miscommunication, and confusion in a safe and structured environment, paving the way for healthier family dynamics and a stronger recovery.
Family therapy brings clients and their loved ones together in a guided, supportive setting with a licensed therapist. This type of therapy can include parents, siblings, spouses, or anyone with a meaningful role in the client’s life. The goal is to build understanding and strengthen relationships through shared learning and open communication.
At FACTS, our family therapy approach focuses on:
Our goal is to create a safe space where everyone can grow together. Family therapy doesn’t just help the individual in recovery. It builds a stronger, more supportive family unit.
Recovery is a journey, and it’s not one that should be walked alone. Family members often carry their own emotions, including guilt, shame, fear, frustration, and helplessness. Family therapy helps to address these feelings, fostering mutual understanding and empathy.
The benefits of family involvement in treatment include:
For many, family therapy can be a transformative experience that fosters healing for the entire family unit rather than just the person in treatment.
In addition to traditional therapy, FACTS offers interactive family workshops throughout the year. These are immersive educational experiences that allow families to:
These workshops offer tools that extend beyond the therapy room, enabling families to foster lasting change and promote healthy dynamics at home.
For many, walking into your first family therapy session can be nerve-wracking. But it’s also a powerful step toward healing. At FACTS, we strive to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where every voice is heard and respected.
During your initial session, a licensed therapist will guide the conversation, helping each participant share their perspective. You’ll discuss family dynamics, past challenges, and how addiction or mental health struggles have impacted your relationships. The focus is not on assigning blame, but on creating understanding and setting the groundwork for meaningful change.
To get the most out of your session, it helps to come with:
The therapist will ensure the conversation stays safe, balanced, and productive, giving each family member a chance to speak and be heard. This first step often brings a sense of relief and hope for everyone involved.
Family therapy sessions from there will continue to address issues that were broached in the first session to help provide the family with a foundation of healing to continue to build on.
At our treatment center in Florida, we take a holistic view of recovery. That means addressing every layer of a person’s experience, including the relationships that shape them. By offering family therapy for addiction and mental health recovery, we help rebuild the foundation of trust, care, and connection that’s essential for long-term healing.
At FACTS, we understand that every family is different. That’s why we tailor each session to meet the needs of the family.
Our programs include:
We’re here to support both the individual in treatment and the family standing beside them.
