Family Relapse

When someone in our family struggles with a substance use disorder, we often focus on our family member’s recovery and can sometimes forget that our own recovery and our family’s recovery is also part of the process. Just like our loved one, we may also face barriers and challenges along the journey.

This month’s session will help family members:

• Identify the family relapse cycle
• Understand how family members can slip back into familiar, but unhealthy, patterns of behaviors
• Identify what “recovery” looks like for a family member
• Develop specific treatment interventions to help the family explore and change their own patterns of behavior

Who Should Attend this Program?

Any family member who has been impacted by a loved one’s substance use disorder will benefit from participating in this webinar.

Sponsored by the generosity of Jay and Lauren Springer.
