Family Therapy For Addiction in CT
If you or a loved one in your family is dealing with the struggles of a substance use problem or have encountered problems that accompany substance issues and are looking for help for them and the entire family, you should contact our family therapy and counseling specialists at New Era Rehabilitation in Connecticut in locations – Bridgeport or New Haven. We’re here to help families make sense of addiction and show them how substance abuse and mental health treatment can help heal the family as a whole.
Battling addiction can be incredibly lonely and frustrating. Although family members often want to help, they may not have the experience or perspective to help those in need get the appropriate care they require. Our licensed professionals in Connecticut can help the afflicted and help the family form a caring support network that can help promote long-lasting sobriety.

Care the Family Needs With Addiction Family Counseling
First and foremost, the person battling the addiction is our priority. As stated, overcoming addiction to a substance is incredibly lonely and frightening. However, if a person is at a point where they realize they need help, then a huge first step in recovery has already been taken with the help of addiction family counseling.
Another huge step is when family members realize help outside the family is needed and know the care their loved one receives is critical to a successful recovery. It’s just as hard for family members to admit outside help is necessary. But it’s also incredibly difficult to heal a family from within when the person battling the addiction is just as confused about what to do as anyone else may be.
Let New Era Rehabilitation help in all aspects of the addiction recovery process with family counseling in Connecticut. We’ll provide a free consultation and develop a treatment plan that:
- Treats the addiction and the negative impacts to mental, emotional, and physical health
- Identifies any underlying causes of the addiction or co-occurring disorders that may be contributing
- Provide a stable, safe, and empathetic environment for both the client and the family to receive the care everyone needs to make it a successful recovery journey.
What the treatment plan will look like will only be known once the initial consultation is complete. There are a lot of options when it comes to rehabilitation from substance abuse. However, each person’s situation is unique to them. The recommended treatment plan must consider that unique situation to provide the best path toward success.
Once that plan is in place, the options for family counseling will be incorporated if it isn’t the sole therapeutic course recommended. After all, everyone involved should seek the treatment they believe they need, and New Era Rehabilitation always encourages the family’s participation as much as possible if it’s feasible with family therapy and counseling treatment plans.
Family and Its Significance During Addiction Treatment CT
If you’re a family member wondering, “Could family counseling be the only form of therapy a person needs?” the answer is, “Perhaps.”
Again, we won’t know the recommended course of treatment until the consultation is completed. That being said, if the underlying cause of someone’s addiction is family issues or something like childhood trauma, then family counseling, coupled with individual counseling, maybe the natural course of treatment.
The point is not to anticipate the underlying cause of addiction nor fear the treatment. This is part of the healing process and, ultimately, the recovery process. Families need help, too.
Another thing to remember is a successful recovery can’t be successful without a steadfast support network like a family. Suppose the family has been affected by the addiction. In that case, it also can’t be a successful recovery if the family hasn’t been allowed the opportunity to be part of the recovery process. If it can’t be part of the process, the family will not hold up as a support network.
Family counseling can be a significant aid in establishing a firm grip on sobriety for the one in recovery. It can also heal the wounds within the family while educating family members on the recovery process and how critical their support can be to its success.
Goals of Family Counseling and Therapy
The greatest thing that results from rehabilitation is to see the sufferer of substance abuse find peace and sobriety, see them discover normalcy and control again in their life, and see their relationships with family and friends healed and amended.
These can all be achieved by including family counseling and therapy in any treatment plan. Results can include:
- Better communication
- Increased empathy
- Improved patience and understanding
- The development of supportive and loving boundaries
- Positive changes while accepting the negatives of the past
- The acceptance that recovery doesn’t end, nor does it move at a specific pace
Recovery doesn’t have to be a lonely process nor limited to those who have to break the grips of addiction. The family is one of the most important components of recovery; it also deserves to find hope again.
