Family Intervention (Addiction)

Addiction not only affects the user’s life but destroys the entire family as well. Family members go through a lot when their loved one suffers from addiction and are crucial in the path to recovery and abstinence from the drug. Strong relationships with family and friends are essential for successful drug abuse treatment. Various Counselling methods include the spouse and other family members of the addicted person. The potential benefits of family therapy are :

• Family members can act as a powerful force for change in the addicted person's life.
• Including family members can increase the likelihood a person will stay in therapy.
• Family members may be suffering from stress, depression or adjustment issues due to the consequences of their relative’s addiction.
• Each family member can begin to heal the damage their loved one's addiction has caused in their own life.

Studies show family therapy results in lower relapse rates, increased happiness in the family, and better functioning in children of addicted parents. At UMANG CLINIC, we offer one of a kind specially designed Family Counselling for relatives of patients with addiction, with the aim of highlighting the role of family members in the recovery and treatment of the patient.
