Family Programs

LRADAC sees more than 500 teens each year. Statistics have shown that an adolescent's treatment success is directly related to the involvement of the family. Family members of adolescents face unique challenges. Some of these experiences are universal while others are specific to that family.

If alcohol and/or other drugs have become part of your adolescent's experience, you face additional roadblocks to a healthy family unit. It is important to remember that you are not alone. Alcohol and/or other drug use affect one in five families.

LRADAC's Family Program is designed to involve, empower and motivate family members to help their teens navigate this challenging time. Our program offers education and support to families as they strive to keep the lines of communication open with their child. The program assists families in setting boundaries and restoring their adolescent and family to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The program is intended to accommodate all family members and includes:

• Family Awareness/Support Classes: These classes meet weekly. Families receive education from trained professionals and have the benefit of receiving support from other families facing similar situations.
• Family Unit Sessions: Families may need additional support from a private counseling session with a family counselor. These sessions allow family members to work together as a unit to explore specific issues facing the health of the family.
• Family Member Sessions: The adolescent, as well as individual family members may need to meet one-on-one with a family counselor to discuss difficult situations and issues. It is important to explore the role each family member plays in the treatment experience.
