This series features parents who share how they are coping with the challenges of parenting a child with substance use disorder.
Before, During, and After Treatment
Caron Treatment Centers offers many services for family members of loved ones struggling with harmful substance use. These services are available to any family member concerned about substance use, during a loved one’s treatment, or after for recovery support and resources.
Family Treatment
Statistics show that patients whose families participate in drug and alcohol rehab have lower relapse rates. Caron’s in-depth family programs educate, guide, and support family members, so they understand the disease of addiction and what they need to do to achieve long-term recovery as a family.
By addressing the challenges within the family system, Caron gives families a foundation they can build on to create a healthy and open family system, one that works for everyone. We also introduce family members to our active alumni and family community so they can build connections with other families going through the same stage of treatment and others in long-term recovery.
Caron will meet you wherever you are in your journey to a life in recovery.
