Family Education
Austin Recovery is a family affair. Our Family Education Program is held on Saturday afternoon from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., followed by family visitation. Topics include: Communication Skills, Disease Concept, Chemical Dependency and the Family, Relapse Prevention, Boundaries and Al-Anon. The purpose of Family Education at Austin Recovery is to utilize the family's strengths and resources to find ways for the person who abuses alcohol or drugs to live without substances of abuse and to ameliorate the impact of chemical dependency on both the client and the family. Family Education can help families become aware of their own needs and aid in the goal of keeping chemical dependency from moving from one generation to another.
