Family Support

Alcohol and drug addiction doesn’t only harm the addicted person. Often your family and those close to you will be hurt in some way by your actions.

We recognise that addiction to alcohol and other drugs impacts not just the individual, but the people close to them, often creating complex challenges and dynamics within the family unit.

Hader Clinic Queensland’s family program offers support and education to guide the individual’s support network through the recovery process with understanding and compassion.

Our family program provides monthly family support sessions to navigate the impacts and complexities of recovery from alcohol and substance dependence. The twice monthly family education sessions provide an opportunity for family members to learn, whilst offering an environment of mutual understanding and peer support.

The family support and education sessions will cover important topics such as:

• Stage of Change in Addiction
• Boundaries
• Communication
• Healing guilt & Shame
• Family Roles in Addiction and Recovery
• Self-Care
• 12 Step programs for families
• Relapse Prevention Planning

When families are involved in the recovery journey, it can strengthen relationships and lead to better outcomes for everyone.
