In 2004, InnerVisons’ Executive Director was involved in a Masters Degree Program and decided to research and explore the problem of families and problematic substance use for his Thesis project. The result was a six-week family-oriented program designed to provide a forum where substance affected families could receive information and support, so they could address the factors surrounding problematic substance abuse within the family unit.
Objective:
Our aim with this innovative Program is to increase awareness and provide education to all family members, as well as to strengthen the family relationship in the wake of addiction. This in turn increases the likelihood all concerned will live positive, productive, and healthier lifestyles. Research literature has consistently shown that the single prevalent predictor of successful recovery from substance abuse is family reconnection.
The family unit has been identified as the cornerstone of the community. Thus family wellness equals community wellness. Families struggling with the issue of substance abuse need to become involved on a deeper, more profound level in the process leading to recovery.
The Substance Abuse Family Program assists participants and their families to:
- learn how to identify problematic substance use
- gain awareness about the unfavourable health and social impact of problematic substance use
- develop communication skills and coping strategies
- develop healthier attitudes and approach life in a more holistic manner
- make better choices in regards to their loved one’s problematic use
- explore community resources and services for the family
All participants will complete an individualized assessment to determine a future-focused “plan of action.”
