Indianapolis, Indiana Alcohol & Drug Addiction Rehab Family Therapy​​

How Does Addiction Affect the Family?

Two of the most common ways that substance addiction affects the family are financial and loss of relationships impacted by addiction. Young, old, close, or distant, virtually any member of an addict’s circle can be (and often are) adversely affected by addiction.  Family members, friends, co-workers, and community members all watch as their loved one changes. Trust is frequently compromised as moods and behaviors change. Arguments and hostility typically become standard elements of communication. Family members often search for ways to cope with the unpredictable behavior of their loved ones. These coping mechanisms sometimes turn into codependency symptoms, and all too often, family members fail to realize they are enabling their loved one’s self-destructive behavior to try and help them.

Substance use and addiction are incredibly costly. Depending on the severity of your addiction, drug use can cost anywhere from one hundred to several thousand dollars a month, depending on what you use, how often you use, and where you live. Addictions to alcohol are no different. Depending on the amount you drink and the alcohol of your choice, alcohol addiction can be financially detrimental to maintain. But how does this hurt your family? Unfortunately, when liquid resources run out, and someone is struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, they may begin to turn to their family for financial support. In some cases, if the family no longer voluntarily supports the addict by giving them money or even helping them obtain drugs or alcohol, the addict may turn towards theft to get the funds necessary to purchase drugs or alcohol. In addition, family members who may be desperate to help their addicted loved one seek addiction treatment may drain much-needed financial resources such as savings accounts, retirement accounts, or even mortgage their homes to raise funds required to pay for rehab.

The Benefits of Family Therapy in Addiction Treatment​

For a family with a loved one struggling with substance abuse, loneliness is a common emotion. In some cases, loneliness is coupled with anger and depression. This anger can be directed at the individual struggling with addiction, but it can also be internal. Family members can be angry at themselves because they feel as though they have failed as parents or spouses in their efforts to help their loved ones defeat their addictions. Family therapy in addiction treatment helps family members find the support that is essential to understanding their loved one substance use disorder, along with easing anxiety and frustrations. When family members attend therapy or family support groups, it inevitably has a positive benefit on the family as a whole. Family therapy can help the family heal and increase the chances that their loved one will seek help for their addiction and maintain long-term sobriety.

The mission of family therapy is to provide individuals and families with support and education on the disease of addiction, cross-addiction, and its impact on the family system. Our addiction and substance abuse family therapy program is designed to assess your family’s needs, educate you about chemical dependence, and offer ongoing family support during and/or after the patient’s substance abuse treatment.

The disease of addiction has significant physical, emotional, and social consequences for the individual seeking addiction treatment and for the family and significant others who have been impacted by the disease. We view the family as an essential component of a patient’s ongoing recovery program and seek to involve family members in the addiction treatment and recovery process.
