An educational group for loved ones impacted by addiction

When someone in your life – a parent, a child, a grandparent, or loved one – suffers from addiction, you suffer, too. Whether your loved one still has an active addiction or is in recovery, it’s hard to overcome the damage the addiction has caused. Addiction brings feelings of chaos, resentment, shame, lack of trust, anger and secrecy into the family, and you need a space to understand how addiction has shaped how you approach situations and relationships, and ultimately, how you live your life.

Recovery Centers of America’s Families Impacted by Addiction group explores how you can start moving away from addiction’s damaging, lasting effects. We will discuss how to speak to a loved one – whether they still have an addiction or are in recovery – about your fears and concerns and learn ways to support your own healing while helping to break the cycle of family addiction.

Our master’s level therapists, coaches, educators, and supportive peers will help with boundaries, communication, and so much more.

With RCA’s four-week, online Families Impacted by Addiction educational group, you will learn how to:

• Understand how addiction has impacted your family as a whole and learn how to shift those behaviors to break the family cycle of addiction
• Challenge the notion of “enabling and codependency”
• Dismantle the shame of loving your family member in the ways you have learned to love them
• Manage the opinions of others who think you are “doing it wrong” and tell you how you “should” be doing things
• Learn alternative ways to “love” the person where you don’t have to lose yourself

You will also receive a sense of community and support unlike any other with this educational group. Your peers will support you, offer encouraging words, share similar experiences, and grow on this journey with you.
