But there's a broad base of literature on the family and involvement in addiction, treatment and how the family can positively impact outcomes, and we know that the family can sustain recovery, that the family family involvement can increase treatment engagement, treatment retention, it can lower the probability of a relapse and also can improve the health of both the family members as well as the people who are struggling with drug and alcohol use.
Addiction doesn't just affect the person struggling with substance use; it ripples through families, leaving emotional and sometimes physical scars. In this episode of The Right Mind Media Podcast, hosts Jon Cohan and Abby Dean sit down with Alicia Ventura, the Director of Special Projects and Research for the Grayken Center for Addiction TTA Program at Boston Medical Center. They tackle the often-overlooked impact of addiction on families and how loved ones can play a crucial role in recovery.

You’ll also hear about practical strategies for setting boundaries and improving communication within the family unit. Whether you’re directly affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides actionable advice and hope.
