  • Understand Substance Use Disorder
  • Set and maintain healthy boundaries.
  • Connect with other families who truly understand.

What We Offer:

  • Educational family webinars
  • In-person family support groups

  • Encourage your loved one to complete the full program.
  • Support and reinforce healthy behavior.
  • Respect your loved one’s privacy and the facility’s confidentiality rules.
  • Dress appropriately for a co-ed environment.
  • Take home personal belongings when requested.
  • Be mindful of the emotional and behavioral changes your loved one is experiencing.

What You Should Avoid:

  • Do not deliver upsetting news without speaking with their counselor.
  • Avoid scheduling outside appointments during treatment hours.
  • No outside food or drinks allowed.
  • Do not bring or use cell phones, take pictures, or violate confidentiality.
  • Do not bring personal belongings into the facility.
  • Strictly no drugs, alcohol, or products containing alcohol.
  • Do not arrive under the influence entry will be denied.
  • Vape pens and similar devices are prohibited.

  • Recovery-based events
  • Peer check-ins
  • A supportive alumni community

A Final Note to Families

As your loved one embarks on their healing journey, we invite you to take this time to care for yourselves as well. Recovery is a deeply personal and often challenging process, not only for those seeking healing but for the families who stand beside them. Your support, understanding, and patience can make an incredible difference.

We encourage you to reflect, learn, and nurture your own well-being throughout this journey. Having clear information and setting compassionate, realistic expectations will not only ease some of the uncertainty but will also strengthen the foundation of support your loved one needs.

Please know that your role is invaluable. The more informed, resilient, and emotionally grounded you are, the greater the impact you can have on your loved one’s long-term success. You are an important part of rebuilding their lives and restoring hope.

You Don’t Have to Fight Alone: Supporting Veterans Through Recovery

Coming home doesn’t always mean peace. For many veterans, the battles don’t end when the deployment does, they just change.

This is for the veterans who’ve given everything and deserve more than a thank you. They deserve real support.
