Repairing
Family Dynamics
When a person enters treatment for addiction, they will not be the only one who requires help. Addiction impacts families too, and in order to thoroughly heal they must confront the negative effects that the addiction has had on their lives. At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center, we provide family members and loved ones with the support and guidance they need to heal and prepare for the road ahead.
Our family therapy program is designed to give the family a deeper understanding of the disease model of addiction and the challenges that their loved one will experience. We provide an environment where families can speak candidly without having to feel embarrassed, resentful or guilty. A family therapist will provide guidance to:
- Understand the disease of addiction
- Improve communication
- Discuss difficult topics
- Improve relationships
- Resolve conflict within the family unit
- Learn coping skills
- Avoid enabling behaviors
- Provide support

How Family Therapy Works
During family therapy, the therapist will focus on the family’s strengths to incite positive changes to the family dynamic. Positive changes tend to lead to more positive changes, which benefits everyone participating.
Addiction damages family ties, so the therapist will work with the client and their loved ones to confront the problems in their relationships and help them rebuild trust and improve communication. We provide a safe space where families can immediately get to work to resolve deep-seated, sensitive, underlying issues.
We also take time to educate families on the risks of enabling, codependency and other unhealthy patterns. Oftentimes, these behaviors are what lead to addiction in the first place, and they can increase the risk of relapse.

The Importance of Family Therapy
Addiction disrupts the family dynamic. When one member of the family is struggling with addiction, the rest of the family is affected. It’s crucial that the entire family be involved in treatment so that they can gain a thorough understanding of the disease while actively repairing relationships and learning how to be supportive moving forward.
Families serve as built-in support systems, which is why family is such a valuable resource for someone in recovery. A solid family foundation gives clients the support and motivation they need to be successful in recovery.
