Families RISE (Recovery Inspires Supportive Environments)

Is your young adult child suffering from addiction? We know this is painful for you and your whole family. But there is hope. Addiction treatment works, and recovery is possible. At Recovery Centers of America, we specialize in treating young adults so they can enter a life of lasting recovery. A big part of your child’s success will be your involvement on their road to recovery. And that’s why we have designed Families RISE, a program dedicated to the families of young adults with substance use disorder.

With young adults ages 18+, it is particularly vital for families to provide constant support and encouragement to their loved ones. To establish healthy boundaries, set realistic goals and create a framework to guide young adults toward achieving these goals, structured conversations between young adults and their families need to be a significant part of treatment.

The staff at RCA went above and beyond to help not only my son but our family as well. Their compassion, knowledge and hard work are greatly appreciated. I participated Families RISE while my son was in treatment at RCA. Being able to talk and share common issues and stories with people who truly understand was much needed during this very difficult time. I am very grateful for all the information and knowledge that I gained from the staff and the resources they provided.  I will continue to use all that I learned as I move through the process with my son as he continues in his sobriety.

Families RISE really opened my mind to the information shared and I was open with the other families about my own fears and concerns.   I was able to ask questions and learn from others who have been where I am.  It also reaffirmed for me that I am not alone on my journey and there are so many others who have a situation worse than mine.  I am immensely grateful for the support and I wished I had more time. I highly recommend the Families RISE program for all families with a loved one in recovery.   It can change your life!!

What is Families RISE?

To provide therapy, support and education to families and their loved ones in treatment,  Recovery Centers of America has created Families RISE (Recovery Inspires Supportive Environments), a special support group offered to the family members of anyone enrolled in the young adult inpatient treatment program, Discover, at Recovery Centers of America at Devon.

Families RISE includes:

  • Wednesday evening process groups exclusively for families at Devon
  • Weekly family sessions with or without the young adult present
  • Tuesday evening educational family webinars
  • Optional attendance in other family programs, such as Seeds to Recovery

Topics covered include:

  • Effective communication
  • Healthy boundaries
  • Helping your loved one launch
  • Self-care
  • Avoidance of enabling
  • Healing with your loved one
  • Multifamily community and fellowship
  • Education about SUD and its treatment
  • Avoiding pitfalls of traditional family therapy

Why Families RISE works

Because so many of the young adults are still living in their family homes, families are inevitably drawn into their loved ones’ struggle. Since you’re already involved in the problem (your loved one’s addiction), it is crucially important that you be involved in the solution (their recovery).

A positive and supportive home environment has an enormous advantage in overcoming addiction and promoting a productive life in recovery. In fact, according to a National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) study, caregivers who are more likely to see successful recovery in their loved ones are those who:

  • Are involved in treatment
  • Understand its importance
  • Work with treatment providers
  • Remain engaged in the recovery process

Having some meetings separate from your emerging adult child will develop both their independence to and interdependence with you.

Also, having another family session with both you and your loved one present will help address enabling, self-care, and the establishment of healthy boundaries.

What are the benefits of Families RISE?

Through this combination of therapy sessions, support groups and educational webinars, you will:

  • Learn how to make constructive changes in your family dynamic to support your loved one’s recovery
  • Work with a primary therapist to reach goals of your loved one within the family
  • Develop ways to manage your behavior
  • Create space for your loved one to achieve independence

Traditional family therapy focuses too heavily on your child and their addiction, which can be counterproductive, leading them to feel defensive or hostile. One major benefit of the Families RISE approach is that it treats the family as a whole, avoiding this unwanted consequence, helping you and your child heal together, develop good boundaries and achieve healthy independence.
