Family Programs

Addiction Recovery: Support for Families

You are not alone, although we understand that it can feel that way.

Sometimes, the support from others who are going through the same challenges is exactly what you need. When your loved one struggles with addiction, your family struggles too. At Fairbanks, we understand how important family support is and encourage family involvement as part of the overall recovery process.

Family members must understand what their loved one is going through, which is why we provide family support and education for adults and adolescents. We teach families about alcohol and drug abuse & addiction while providing the necessary support to help the entire family cope during this difficult and confusing time.

While participating in the treatment programs here at Fairbanks, you have the opportunity to speak with your loved one’s primary counselor and the family counselor. Both individual sessions and family sessions may be scheduled to enable everyone to gain more insight and education about addiction.

If you would like to learn more about our family programs please contact the family counselor at 317-572-9320 or the parent support group counselor at 317-572-9474.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

The disease of addiction often affects the entire family. When Melinda’s mother, Adell, was struggling with alcoholism, Melinda found herself feeling hopeless.

“Before my mother embraced treatment and recovery, I was certain that her addiction was going to kill her,” said Melinda. “I came to Fairbanks because I didn’t know what else to do, or where else to go. I just knew that we needed help. I told my mother that I couldn’t help her, but I knew a place that could.” That place was Fairbanks.

“Recovery means bringing life back to a loved one, and it has truly been a blessing for her, our family and me,” said Melinda. “I’m indebted to Fairbanks forever.”

David, a past patient and active volunteer at Fairbanks, was the recipient of the 2008 Volunteer of the Year award.

David works hard to assist other individuals and families, helping them understand that there is hope; and that the impact of recovery is real and powerful.

“I remember Dr. Tim Kelly told me to get in the backseat and let my recovery program drive me, and I’ve been doing that ever since,” said David. “Now, I’ve got my family back. I’ve found peace, I’m happy, healthy and I am complete. I have a sense of peace and serenity that I’ve never had in my entire life.”

Seth spent 30 days at Fairbanks before moving into La Verna Lodge Family Program, a 12-step, long-term treatment setting for men created to unite residents and their families in recovery.

“I had to get away from my daily habits and also focus on my recovery,” he says. “But I also needed a safe place to manage my anxiety about life, and a place where I could be held accountable to behave in the appropriate way.”

“After coming to Fairbanks, I realized everything kept on happening without me, that I wasn’t the cause for every effect. For somebody who was terminally self-important, that was the biggest lesson I could ever get.”
