Assisting Families in Overcoming Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Impact Wellness Network is dedicated to helping families impacted by addiction find healing and resolution. Addiction is a deeply personal struggle, but its effects can extend to the entire family or those closest to the individual. Since family members are interconnected, a change in one person can lead to changes in the others. This makes family therapy a critical component of addiction treatment. It enables family members to comprehend how addiction affects them and equips them with the tools necessary to restore and improve their relationships.

Furthermore, addiction can stem from dysfunction at home and family therapy offers a platform for members to identify and prevent such risk factors. Addiction can also alter family dynamics, causing members to feel neglected, angry, guilty, and ashamed. While the individual with addiction seeks individual therapy or other forms of drug treatment, other family members often feel at a loss. Family therapy provides them with a safe space to vocalize their emotions about addiction, achieve insight into their behavior, and help bring positive change.

Understanding the Relationship Between Family and Addiction

How Family Therapy Can Help with Drug Treatment

Family therapy for drug addiction is led by therapists who are knowledgeable in group dynamics within a family, and how each member may be influenced by others in the group. These therapists are experienced in improving individual family members’ interactions and well-being within the family unit.

Before beginning family therapy, the client must identify which family members should take part in the counseling process. Those who are usually included meet the following criteria:

They maintain the household

They provide key support

They mainly provide financial aid and resources

The client shares a strong emotional bond with them

Clients may also choose to include friends, significant others, or coworkers as part of their family for therapy purposes.

In many cases, families have already singled out the individual struggling with addiction as the “problem” in the family. However, family therapy avoids assigning blame and instead focuses on helping the entire family recover, come together, and move forward as a unit.

Family therapy offers a variety of services, including:

Private family sessions with the therapist and one or more family members

Group sessions where the family, including the client, discusses addiction, recovery, and familial relationships

Intensive family education sessions with activities designed to teach healthier ways of interacting

Individual counseling sessions where the therapist meets with the spouse or children of recovering addicts

12-step meetings for families of addicts, where different families can meet, learn, and support each other through similar challenges.

Supporting Families and Individuals Struggling with Addiction: Coping Mechanisms

When a loved one is dealing with substance abuse, families may resort to unhealthy behaviors as a way of coping with the addiction. These behaviors include:

Enabling: unwittingly supporting a loved one’s drug problem by shielding them from the consequences of their actions. Examples include purchasing drugs or alcohol for the family member, paying their bills to avoid financial trouble, or ignoring their violent or manipulative tendencies and drug habits.

Denial: refusing to acknowledge the severity of the drug addiction and bottling up feelings to avoid upsetting the loved one.

Codependency: the dysfunction within the family causes some members to become obsessively concerned with their loved one’s feelings and ignore their own. This can lead to low self-esteem, misplaced anger, and outbursts against other household members. These individuals may also adopt unhealthy behaviors such as overeating to cope with the stress.

It’s important to recognize these behaviors and seek professional help to address the root cause of the addiction.

Impact Wellness Networks’ Family Program: Goals for Family Drug Therapy

Family therapists have several objectives in mind when working with families struggling with drug addiction. These objectives include:

  • Helping families overcome obstacles that may impede their recovery. Many families resort to denial, enabling behaviors, or co-dependency to cope with their loved one’s addiction. As a result, it is critical to teach them how to recognize and break these patterns. For example, some families with drug-addicted members may provide them with drugs to avoid violent or destructive behavior.
  • Restoring normal, healthy family roles is also a goal of family therapy. Addiction causes chaos and disorganization as it uproots families and reverses roles. Children may end up taking care of their parents and setting limits or boundaries may become difficult. In therapy, families can focus on reestablishing appropriate family roles, improving communication, and creating a safe family environment.
  • Many family drug treatment programs emphasize the importance of educating families affected by drug abuse to identify behaviors or thoughts that create ideal conditions for addiction at home. They are also taught about the effects of addiction, the recovery process, and the role they must play in supporting their loved one’s recovery.
