Services For Families

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.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for leading the Family Education Program. It was incredibly informative and deeply impactful. I left feeling empowered, hopeful, and much more equipped to take the next steps in my own healing and recovery. I am especially grateful that, despite it not being standard right now, an exception was made for me to participate in the in-person session. The in-person experience was truly transformative for me. Being able to attend in person allowed everything to resonate on a deeper emotional level that I genuinely needed. By beginning to heal myself, I can now clearly see the path for my husband and me to continue healing together in a healthy and supportive way. That clarity is a gift I will always be grateful for. Please share my heartfelt thanks with everyone at Caron for allowing me to join and for making space for this part of the journey. I am so very grateful — and blessed — to say that our journey has just begun, and I feel stronger because of this program.
