Mourning in Recovery: Managing Grief and Alcoholism
Can grief cause alcoholism? The Recovery Team explains the connection between grief and alcohol addiction.
Family Programs
At The Recovery Team, we acknowledge that addiction impacts not just the individual but also their close ones. Hence, we provide specialized family programs to aid family members like parents or children in supporting their loved ones. Our programs offer counseling, education, and support to help families handle the complexities of addiction and build robust relationships.
Our family program aims to educate families on how to provide healthy support to their loved ones while also receiving the guidance they may need to help them progress. We understand that addiction is a complex issue, and our experts are dedicated to providing compassionate care to everyone involved in the recovery process.
By involving families in the recovery process, we aim to strengthen the support system for our patients. Our competent professionals are dedicated to delivering empathetic and efficacious care to everyone seeking help for addiction.
Who Are Family Programs For?

- Family members who have given their consent to take part in the program activities
- Family members of patients currently enrolled in our drug and alcohol treatment programs

Supporting Families Affected by Addiction
Substance abuse affects not only the addicts themselves but also their family members and loved ones. However, the family’s needs are often overlooked in the process of dealing with addiction.
While the addicts’ health and mental concerns are of utmost importance, it is imperative to focus on the needs of family members as well. They often experience high levels of stress and anxiety as their loved one undergoes addiction treatment.
At The Recovery Team in South Florida, we understand how challenging this time can be for families affected by addiction. We believe that recovery is possible not only for the individual struggling with addiction but also for their entire family. Our family support services are designed to support and assist family members throughout their loved one’s journey to recovery.
