ADDICTION IN THE FAMILY: The Domino Effect
Dr. Claudia Black says "I believe that any experienced professional who has worked in the chemical dependency field would agree just how important it is for family members to experience recovery. Not only is the family deserving of recovery, but their recovery has a direct impact on the ongoing recovery of the addicted person. This program is an important tool that will allow you, in one or two sessions, to focus on primary treatment issues with family members, individually or in groups."
Dr. Black presents three particular primary treatment issuesthat greatly impact the family:
*POWERLESSNESS recognizing that they are powerless over the disease.
*UNMANAGEABILITY that their lives have become unmanageable as a result of the addiction & their co-dependency
*TOUGH LOVE to recognize their enabling and to commit to non-enabling behaviors.
