Family
People in recovery need support and encouragement and the strongest forms of support and nurturing often come from family. Strong family bonds reinforce the notion that the recovering individual is not alone and can rely on others to help them through the rough times. However, the family does not often understand the disease of addiction, how to best support their loved one, and how to seek support for themselves. The Family catalog offers content and strategies for families who are supporting a loved one through recovery.
