Family Healing in Addiction: Insights from The Augustine Recovery Center

Our goal is to create a totally unique environment for men who have not been able to stay sober in your classic day treatment environment. We're going kayaking, we're going surfing, we're doing outdoor team building activities that are promoting a life of sobriety, to show these guys that it can be fun, it can be engaging to dispel that myth that a sober life is a boring one.
What does it take to heal an entire family from the grips of addiction? In this episode of 'The Chronic Hope Podcast', Kevin Petersen, a licensed marriage and family therapist, sits down with Chris Blauvelt from The Augustine Recovery Center to tackle this very question. The Augustine Recovery Center has a unique approach that not only helps men overcome addiction but also involves their families in the healing process.
They create an engaging and supportive environment, challenging the notion that sobriety equates to boredom. Instead, they offer a lively and fulfilling path to recovery. Chris shares how the center’s family blueprint for recovery is designed to mend and strengthen family bonds, ensuring that everyone involved has the tools and support they need. They also dive into the often daunting topic of treatment costs and the importance of having a solid plan in place.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the journey to recovery. Tune in for a conversation that's both enlightening and hopeful.
