Strengthening Bonds: The Power of Structured Family Recovery

Structured Family Recovery is a process that unites families and helps them build the skills they need to support their loved ones on their journey to sobriety. It’s about building trust, happiness, and lasting sobriety for everyone involved.
Ever wondered how families can truly come together in the face of addiction? Carver Brown and Sherry Gaugler-Stewart have some answers. As Certified Structured Family Recovery (SFR) counselors, they’ve seen firsthand how SFR can transform families dealing with a loved one's addiction.
In this episode of 'The Best Minds Podcast', hosted by Jeff Jay, Carver and Sherry break down the nuts and bolts of SFR and share real-life stories of families who have found new strength and happiness through this process. Structured Family Recovery isn’t just about helping the addict; it’s about healing the entire family. Carver and Sherry talk about how SFR helps family members communicate better, set healthy boundaries, and support each other.
They share touching examples of families who’ve not only supported their newly sober loved one but have also grown and changed themselves in the process. The episode dives into practical elements like daily readings, homework assignments, and open discussions, which are all part of the SFR journey. Carver and Sherry emphasize the importance of these tools in keeping families focused on their recovery goals.
They also highlight the value of having a safe space where family members can talk openly about their feelings without fear of judgment. Carver and Sherry's experiences show that SFR is more than just a method; it’s a lifeline for families struggling with addiction. By fostering trust, communication, and mutual support, SFR helps families build lasting sobriety together.
If you're looking for ways to support a loved one or seeking to understand how families can heal from addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
