Family is a very important part of the patient’s recovery. During treatment, each patient will be assigned a family counselor who will do a detailed assessment with the patient and family members to determine each family’s unique needs. Then, throughout treatment, the family counselor will have weekly family counseling sessions by phone or in person, if the family lives locally. We also have a weekly family support group 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.
