- Establish boundaries that are healthy for themselves and the recovering addict
- Know the signs of codependency
- Progress through denial, shame, and fear in a supportive environment
- Identify family roles in addiction

- Learn and implement recovery attitudes that are healthy
- Learn how to prevent behaviors that are enabling for addiction
- Break down communication barriers and learn healthy ways to resolve conflicts
Why Are Family Education and Support Programs Important?
Educating family is important for the healing process and teaches you how to heal from the addict’s past behavior. Oftentimes, those affected greatly by a loved one’s addiction experience frustration, anger, confusion, helplessness, hurt, and hopelessness. The addiction has caused emotional, physical, social, and mental harm to family without the addict knowing.
By utilizing family education and support programs, family members can recognize ways to control their loved one’s addiction. Family begins to understand that addiction is a disease that the individual can’t control. There is no cure for addiction, only management of the disease with professional treatment and support from family.
