FAMILIES RECOVER

Available for community or church programming upon request with a confirmed group of 5 or more participants

Families experience addiction, and ideally, families experience recovery together. But family members often miss out on the opportunity to participate in treatment centers' family programs or never get the chance because their loved one never received treatment. Hurt feelings, mistrust, worry, uncertainty and fear can consume family members, even after their loved one begins the journey of recovery.

From one who has "been there"........

“I wanted to find out more about what I could do and what I shouldn’t do,”
— Patsy, mother of 27 y/o Matt

So Full Life Counseling joins together with Pavillon International and the Moravian Church to offer the Pavillon-model for Family Recovery to families in our area.

Who should participate: Families Recover is open to any family member or person over the age of 16 who cares about someone with alcoholism, addiction or chemical dependency, regardless of whether or not that person(s) ever completed treatment or experienced recovery. Family members play important roles during periods of active using, relapse and/or active recovery, so we believe that there's always an opportunity for family & friends to know how to help. Family members, friends, clergy or physicians are all encouraged to participate.

By offering Families Recover over a weekend, we hope to offer a family program that is more feasible and affordable than those that are mid-week. Participants who are employed full-time and whose other responsibilities have interfered with family program opportunities will find the weekend format more accessible.

If your church or community is interested in arranging for Families Recover programming for your group of 5 or more confirmed participants, please contact Ginny Mills at 336.923.7426.
