If one person in the family is sick, other members are working to compensate. When there's substance use disorder in a family, it engenders anxiety, stress, depression behaviors. We know that substance use disorder impacts all members within a family system.
Addiction doesn't just affect the individual; it impacts the entire family. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', Dr. Phoenix Adams from Caron Treatment Centers dives into the importance of treating addiction as a family affair. Dr. Adams likens treating only the person with addiction to putting a cast on one broken bone when the whole body is injured. He shares insights on why involving the entire family in treatment can lead to more effective recovery outcomes.
The discussion covers various specialized treatment programs tailored for different groups and highlights group therapy as a crucial component for breaking down barriers and fostering support. Dr. Adams also addresses pressing issues like fraudulent insurance billing and how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped treatment delivery. For parents grappling with a child's substance use disorder, this episode offers valuable guidance on supporting your loved one through holistic and family-centered approaches.
