Because addiction is a family
disease, it is essential to provide family members with
relevant information and education about what to do, and
what not to do to help their recovering family member maintain
sobriety. The Family Support Program is held on the second
weekend of a client’s stay at the Clinic and lasts
for 2-1/2 days. We strongly encourage the families and/or
close friends of our clients to participate as the Family
Support Program includes educational lectures about the
nature of addiction and co-dependency, an introduction to
the Marshak Method™ treatment modalities, a chance
to participate in the Marshak Method™ exercise sessions,
and take a Marshak Recovery Diet cooking class. The family
members meet with the Marshak Clinic therapists to discuss
their family member’s recovery progress, and his or
her personal treatment plan. During this time the family
members will have an opportunity to discuss their individual
problems and questions with the therapists. At the end of
the Family Support Program, the family participates in a
family session with their recovering family member, the
goal of which is to prepare the family to accept the client’s
new character and start building a new relationship.
Addiction robs people of their
dignity and life before it kills them. We can help you achieve
sobriety now - and maintain it for life.
