At Evoke Wellness at Cohasset, we believe that family is an integral part of the recovery process. This is why we are now offering a family therapy program. Our family therapy program teaches family members how to take care of themselves while still supporting their loved ones. Through family therapy, family members gain insights and important skills to help repair their relationships. When the family of a recovering addicted individual is involved in and educated on addiction they are better able to help support their loved ones which is crucial in recovery.

The first step in a family therapy program is to educate the family about addiction. This will include information on the causes of addiction, the effects of addiction, and how to recognize when someone is struggling with addiction. The family will also learn about treatment options and how to support their loved one during recovery.
The second step in a family therapy program is to provide support for the family. This may include group counseling sessions, individual counseling, or both. The goal of this step is to help the family develop a support system to help them cope with their loved one’s addiction.
Studies show that when a family is involved in the treatment process of their struggling loved one, that person has a better chance at recovery from their addiction and mental health issues. During our family program the clients’ substance abuse and mental health disorders are addressed. The family is educated on the disease and any other disorders to help improve communication and address any conflicts there may be. When families participate in the recovery process it increases the chances that the addict will stay in treatment, it improves family and social relationships, and it helps to prevent relapse.
Our family therapy program near Boston, Massachusetts is therapeutic and educational. Family members are able to connect with others going through the same thing so they know they aren’t alone. This can be very powerful.
Drug, alcohol, and co-occurring mental health issues put intense stress on families. Participating in family therapy is a vital part of an addict’s treatment process. During family therapy, family members are taught how to recognize the signs of relapse. They learn specific actions to take when there is a risk. This helps them to be able to step in when they notice their loved one struggling.
Friends and family can often have trouble setting boundaries or saying no to a loved one struggling with addiction. Family therapy helps to teach family members healthy boundaries so they don’t continue to enable the addict’s destructive behaviors. They are also taught how to set boundaries to support their own emotional well-being and recovery. Healthy boundaries benefit both sides of the spectrum.
