Support For The Family in Addiction Recovery

Navigating the complex path of addiction recovery can be challenging for both the individual and their loved ones.

Support for Families

 At Home Based Recovery (HBR), we understand the critical role families play in this journey and are committed to providing comprehensive support for families of loved ones in active addiction or recovery.

 

Home Based Recovery for Family was developed utilizing the CRAFT Model of Addiction concepts to assist loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction.

 

  • Learn how to offer support and encourage your loved one to make healthier choices that move them towards treatment
  • Understand your role, as a friend or family member, in the recovery process
  • Build the tools needed to best support yourself as well as your loved one

Supporting Loved Ones in Recovery

Addiction affects not only the individuals struggling with substance use but also their friends and family. Our Friends and Family Program was developed with a foundation in the CRAFT Model of Addiction, a compassionate and evidence-based approach that empowers friends and family members to play a pivotal role in the recovery journey of their loved ones.

 

Understanding the CRAFT Model in Addiction Recovery

The Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model is an innovative approach designed to help families support a loved one struggling with substance use who may be resistant to change. Unlike traditional methods that often force a choice between supporting the individual or distancing oneself for self-care, CRAFT provides a balanced pathway. It focuses on enhancing communication skills, using positive reinforcement to encourage desirable behaviours, and prioritizing self-care as essential, not optional.

 

By learning and applying these strategies, families can positively influence their loved ones’ behaviours, increasing the likelihood of initiating and sustaining recovery without resorting to ultimatums or detachment. This approach not only aims to motivate the person with addiction towards treatment and healthier lifestyle choices but also significantly improves the quality of life for all family members involved.

Our program also emphasizes the importance of community and shared experiences. We offer access to support groups and forums where you can connect with others facing similar challenges. Sharing your thoughts and hearing others’ experiences can provide comfort and additional insights, making the recovery journey less isolating for both you and your loved one.
