Family Programming

At Caron, we believe it is critical for the family to be part of their loved one’s treatment process. Family services are specifically designed to meet family members’ needs as they work toward personal recovery.

Overcoming Barriers to Treatment

Caron recognizes that legal professionals often resist typical residential treatment for fear of losing their license or because they do not want to appear vulnerable or admit they need help. Some typical statements we hear include:

• I am not an addict and do not need help from others.
• I can control my substance use. I never use during the day—and it does not affect my job.
• I do not want others to know that I may need help.
• I cannot risk losing my job, my license, or my reputation.
• I'm ashamed and therefore must keep my substance use a secret.
• I need to keep working, so I'll do outpatient close to home and go to local AA meetings.
• My practice and reputation will be irreparably harmed if I take the time for residential treatment.
