FAMILY PROGRAMS The Family Treatment Program offers family members and significant others an opportunity to learn the disease concept of codependency as it relates to the disease of addiction. Education and group activities are designed to promote insight into the negative emotional impact on the user, the family, and significant others in the progression of addiction. Group education and experiential opportunities are designed to enhance participants’ awareness and internalization of the family disease concept and encourage involvement in a personal recovery process. Group focus involves personal identification of "enabling" and controlling codependent behavior. Participants develop skills for effective, constructive personal and family recovery. Intervention. An intervention brings together family members and others who are concerned about a loved one’s alcohol and/or drug use. The goal is to confront the user’s denial of destructive behavior. Intervention is a complicated and sensitive process that should not be attempted without professional assistance. Contact Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers for professional help.
