At Elite Recovery, we believe recovery is not a journey taken alone and families are often the most important part of the journey. That’s why we offer Family Education, a monthly virtual program designed to provide loved ones with the insight, tools, and support they need to navigate substance use and mental health challenges alongside their loved one.
Support for the Ones Who Support You
Within life and recovery, family is defined broadly and may include both biological relatives and chosen individuals such as partners, friends, and others involved in a person’s life who provide meaningful support and connection.
That’s why we are offering a Family Education group for family members, loved ones or friends of clients currently in our program. It is a monthly virtual program created to give family members and loved ones the tools, insight, and support they need to navigate substance use and mental health challenges alongside their loved one. Each session is facilitated by licensed clinicians specializing in addiction, co-occurring disorders, and family systems. Sessions provide education, practical strategies, and a safe space for reflection and discussion.
