Addiction and the Family
Module Overview
Addiction in many forms is becoming very prevalent in American society. There is new research that provides a physiological answer for addiction. Addiction isn't just about a personal problem with self-control, families enabling the addictive behavior, or people making bad choices. Now that we understand what is happening in the brain of the addicted person, we are that much closer to finding treatments that work.
Though often unrealized, help for codependency, alcohol and drug addiction is a family affair. Often times the family also needs time for healing and recovery. There are various approaches for helping the family understand their role in the addicts treatment process. Having an understanding of the complexity of the addiction and the disease process and knowing what families can do to help are paramount to successful abstinence.
