What is Family Therapy in Mental Health and Addiction Treatment?
Family therapy is a crucial component of mental health and addiction treatment. It addresses the concept of family disease, which acknowledges the impact of an individual’s challenges on their family system. By using various family therapy models and mental health services, this therapeutic modality can help families heal together and support their loved one’s addiction recovery journey.
During family therapy sessions, you and your family will engage with a therapist to learn new communication strategies, understand each other’s experiences, and implement healthy boundaries. This collaborative approach allows family members to better support each other and facilitate positive change within the family.
Incorporating family therapy into mental health and addiction treatment strengthens recovery, fosters understanding, and encourages a balanced home environment, which is integral to long-term success.

We provide a comprehensive family therapy program, which includes a dedicated family therapist or mental health counselor. Our on-campus, three-and-a-half-day program allows you and your loved one to engage in individual and group therapy, psycho-education, family communication exercises, equine therapy, boundary work, and family reintegration.
Our professional treatment providers strive to enhance family relationships, supporting all members through the healing process. In family therapy sessions, you can work alongside other family members to strengthen the family system, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery and long-lasting results.
Family Psycho-EducationAt Sabino Recovery, we understand the importance of involving the entire family in the addiction treatment process.

We concentrate on educating families about mental health and addiction, emphasizing the importance of understanding and empathy. By participating in our program, you will gain the knowledge and tools needed to support each other and navigate the complexities of mental health and addiction recovery together.
Family Shift WorkHere, we understand that family conflict can deeply affect you and your loved one’s addiction or mental health disorder. As part of our family program, we offer what we call family shift work.
In an individual therapy session, we focus on teaching key communication techniques that enhance communication and foster a supportive environment. This is a therapeutic process that allows you and your loved one to have interactive communication with a mediator present. By working on communicating in this setting, residents and family members can find new, healthy ways of communicating.
Participating in family shift work can not only support your loved one’s recovery, but will also strengthen the bonds and communication within your family, ultimately promoting a healthier and more supportive family environment.
Experiential Therapy for FamiliesParticipating in experiential family therapies, like equine therapy, strikes a balance between addressing serious issues and fostering connection and support. As you and your family take part in our horse-centered therapy program, lasting bonds of understanding and growth are formed.
This approach also allows families to create positive memories in the recovery process. By connecting with horses and each other in these unique experiences, families are better equipped to navigate the challenges ahead.
Family Boundary WorkAt Sabino Recovery, we emphasize the importance of boundary work during family counseling. Ensuring that families dealing with these challenges are able to identify and establish healthy boundaries.
We guide you and your family through a process of self-reflection, promoting open communication and mutual understanding. Our approach helps you identify and address any dysfunctional patterns hindering your family’s well-being. By identifying your family’s strengths and weaknesses, you are better able to structure healthy boundary plans after treatment.
Our team of experienced professionals collaborates with you and your family to develop these personalized strategies for fostering a supportive environment. By establishing healthy boundaries, you can greatly improve the overall well-being of your family and create a strong foundation for long-lasting recovery.
Family ReintegrationAfter completing our family program at Sabino Recovery, we provide an incredible opportunity for you and your loved one to reconnect. You’ll be able to spend up to 5 hours off-campus, allowing your family to experience life as a cohesive unit outside of our residential treatment setting.
With four weeks of residential treatment completed, this reintegration process is an essential step towards rebuilding a healthy family life. Armed with a new set of skills, your family unit can begin to enjoy and normalize your relationships outside of the treatment environment. By participating in the family reintegration part of our program, you’re fostering the growth and healing of your family and creating a strong foundation for a successful future together.
