Studies have shown that whenever a family member suffers from substance use disorder, the whole family should be involved in the treatment because the whole family suffers from it as well.
That is why family recovery programs have been proven to be effective over time. SUD does not only affect the individual suffering from it but also breaks down relationships and create emotional chaos within the family members as they witness their loved one fight their substance dependency battle.
There may be different types of family structure or system, but the experience, effects and the pain that they go through their journey to recovery is almost similar from one family to another. There are common things and experiences that these families share like instability between family members, financial problems, shame and denial, negative impact on the family’s health to name a few.
Families CAN be their loved one’s BEST chance at recovery.
Each family member needs support in coping with the effects of SUD. The family may need someone who can act as an anchor, someone who will lead and guide the family into recovery. That someone could be you.
The road to recovery is long and challenging. We, at BALM, shorten it by adding meaningful education in a community setting. Participating in BALM programs creates that shift in attitude that catapults you and your family towards life in peaceful recovery.
