Family Healing

Generally speaking, treatment programs limit the number of times individuals can speak to their families within the first few weeks of treatment. The reason for this is due to factors such as codependency that disrupt healthy communication. Rest assured, at Peaks Recovery you will be hearing from your loved one’s primary therapist; including contact from other Peaks’ team members to give you weekly updates on your loved one’s progress.

At least once per month, we invite the family to do therapy sessions with their loved one. This can be in person, by phone, or by video chat, though we highly encourage you to be in person for these therapy sessions. We generally desire for you to visit on a Friday so that you can also spend some weekend time with your loved one by visiting local tourist destinations, going out to eat, etc.

Peaks Recovery also runs monthly family program intensives. If this is right for you and your family, we will schedule your family program intensive during your loved one’s treatment episode. Family intensives start on a Wednesday and finish by end of day Friday. It’s a three-day intensive that you will participate in alongside a small group of other families. The total size of the family program ranges between 8-12 people to ensure each family receives the opportunity to participate.
