Integrating Family and Community in Recovery
Understanding the crucial impact of family support on the recovery journey, White Light places a significant emphasis on integrating family members into the treatment process. We conduct a specialized family orientation and education group every Saturday, designed to directly involve loved ones in the healing journey. These sessions aim to mend and strengthen relationships, enhance communication skills, and forge a robust support network, pivotal for the patient’s recovery. Our commitment to family involvement doesn’t end with therapy; it extends to providing comprehensive insights into how families can support their loved ones post-treatment. By equipping families with the knowledge and resources needed, we ensure that our clients are supported not just during their time with us, but well into their future, fostering lasting recovery and well-being.
