Courageous Family Program
Driftwood Family Support Program
Designed to treat the individual within the context of relationships rather than the individual alone
Peer support and emotional connection are key factors for those who aim to achieve long-term sobriety, recovery and healthy ways of living with any condition they’ve sought treatment for. We believe that considering the entire family during treatment allows individuals to build a solid foundation in recovery and restore balance within relationships. Our Driftwood family support program is designed to help clients and their families establish a stronger connection.
We understand the importance of supporting our clients on their recovery journey by extending that assistance to family and friends. By recognizing the importance of community, we help individuals in treatment restore harmony within their relationships to ensure that reintegration into regular life after treatment goes smoothly.
Our team devotes two and a half days each month, in addition to family therapy sessions, to helping families and friends of our clients reclaim their lives and their cherished connections. We invite the entire circle of family, friends, and colleagues to participate and learn healthier ways to live together and embrace recovery.
Strong connections help individuals feel empowered and supported, promoting healing and motivating them to achieve their goals. Driftwood Recovery aims to involve the client's community in the recovery journey, helping them play a vital role in the client's well-being and success.
Loved ones can expect:
✓ New strategies for improved communication and social skills
✓ An increased understanding and compassion for every individual in the family
✓ A clearer sense of the importance of boundaries to better navigate relationship issues
✓ New methods for practicing self-care and soothing
✓ A plan for better utilizing their support communities
✓ Community and shared experiences from others in recovery
✓ Education on the importance of movement and nutrition in recovery
✓ A deeper understanding of the nature of addiction and chronic pain
✓ Information about treatment at Driftwood
✓ First-hand experience of what treatment is like for their loved one
✓ Their own therapeutic experience
These are just some of the many ways we support individuals and their families to cultivate a strong support system for relapse prevention. Our treatment center creates a safe environment for open communication and clear boundaries in order to support healthier relationships as a whole. Individuals in treatment will face many challenges throughout our programs, and they'll continue to face even more challenges outside of treatment in an effort to maintain their sobriety. So, it's important that they have strong bonds to help them navigate these challenges with emotional support.
