What exactly is Family Program: Part 2 of 2 Family Week is: A gathering of information for personal and family recovery. A time to learn communication skills. A time and place for supporting patients and family members. Opportunities to enlist support and make new friends. A time to learn about addiction and codependency. Family Week is not: A cathartic process or therapy to fix problems. A singular focus on the patient’s problem. A time to dump negativity. A solution to family issues, but rather a preparation for personal recovery for family members.
