Family is a very important part of the patient’s recovery. During treatment, each patient/family will be assigned a family counselor who will do a detailed assessment with the patient and also with the family members to determine each family’s unique needs. Then, throughout treatment, the family counselor will have weekly family counseling sessions, which can be done on the phone or in person, if the family lives locally. We also have a family support group each Tuesday evening from 6:15-7:30 p.m. for any family members who would like to attend. The patient’s physician will be in contact with the family as needed to discuss course of treatment, progress and aftercare recommendations.
