Help for Spouse and Family Members

Counseling can also provide assistance to those persons who are affected by another's involvement with alcohol and/or other drugs.  Those living with a chemically dependent person can experience an emotional roller coaster that can impact their health, work performance, and relationships with others.  Counseling can provide a safe environment to discuss these problems and to find solutions to dealing with the chemical dependency without sacrificing their well-being.

Often times couples and/or families need a safe, neutral place to discuss problems that they are experiencing due to one member's alcohol/drug use, or recovery.  Changes, even those that are positive, can create stress in a relationship and often without knowing a person may sabotage a loved one's recovery as a result.  Counseling can provide an understanding of this stress and offer ways to manage it as well as ways to support each other throughout recovery.
