Family Program

Substance abuse and mental health problems can devastate entire families. Of course, it fares no better for the afflicted individual who has to endure the experience. There is enough evidence to suggest that an individual’s support system can help speed, or impeded, a person’s recovery. This is why we place so much additional attention on helping the family unit understand addiction, and what they can do to contribute to their loved one’s wellness. You can look at it as your mission to help your loved one avoid relapse.

The reality is that family ties may have been broken, even strained, during a person’s addiction period. For that person to recover, family ties need to be strengthened, not weakened or shattered further. This is where our experience and knowledge can be a tremendous help to you and your entire family. We can help you to better understand the why’s and how’s of addictive behaviors. Then, you and friends can begin providing the fuel that drives your loved one to successfully accomplish their treatment goals.

Not everyone is equipped to deal with a person’s addictive behaviors and patterns. Sometimes, relationships can be strained past the point of what seems like “no return.” We can help you grow to a point where you know how to properly manage communicating or confronting your loved one when issues present themselves. With the consent of our clients, we encourage families to fully participate in our psychoeducation programs.

Studies continue to show that the extensiveness of an individual’s support system can spell the difference between successfully hurdling the major obstacles to addiction treatment and recovery and failing miserably and going into relapse, forever perpetuating the vicious cycle of on-off addiction and mental illness.

Family ties need to be strengthened, not shattered. Sprout Health California firmly believes that there is no better support system than an individual’s own family and friends. With their untiring support in the individual’s treatment and recovery efforts, families and friends can do so much in increasing the level of motivation of the individual to make good in his treatment program. Families and friends provide the fuel that drives the individual to become successful in the accomplishment of his treatment goals. His family and friends are where he draws his energy from.

The support of families and friends will continue long after the client has completed his treatment program. This is necessary in order to prevent relapses and maintain and emotionally supportive environment for the individual. This helps him reinforce the adaptive thoughts and behaviors he has learned in his treatment program. A strongly supportive family and social network is critical to the individual’s lifelong recovery.
