Strengthening Families Program To strengthen family support for the client and prevent relapse, the Family Program holds orientation workshops for family and friends to help them understand addiction and the treatment process. Monthly family dinners, where clients gather with spouses, children, parents and siblings for food, fellowship and fun, are an excellent way to begin rebuilding family relationships. SFP is designed to reunite clients with their families, educate their children on the disease of addiction, and teach parenting skills.
Alumni/Peer Support The Peer Mentoring Recovery Program started in June 2011 with the charge of serving individuals and families who are reintegrating into the community following treatment to avoid relapse and maintain a healthy fulfilling and independent lifestyle. Since the program s inception, more than 105 men have been served. They participate in group therapy sessions, cultural outings and NA meetings.
