Friends and Family

Alcoholism affects those close to you. We provide support and programs.

Support from Friends & Family

Your addiction impacts not only you but also your loved ones—your family is suffering too. Recovery involves not just overcoming addiction but also mending relationships and embracing support. At Searidge Alcohol Rehab, we believe no one battles alone. The support of family, friends, and community can be transformative. As you strive for a new life, remember: healing yourself helps heal those who care for you.

The Importance of Early Support

Signs of success in treatment often include having family or close friends close by. When families help their loved ones recover and set healthy boundaries, it can greatly affect treatment results. This support not only aids the individual but also strengthens bonds within families and communities.

Types of Supporters


Supporters in recovery come in many forms, each playing a unique role. These may include:

  •  Close and extended family members
  • Friends
  • Colleagues and employers
  • Community and religious leaders


Each of these supporters offers different types of help, from emotional support to practical assistance, making them important in the recovery journey.

How Family and Friends Support Recovery

Supporters help by promoting and accepting change. As people start their recovery, they need a lot of help to deal with the challenges of rebuilding relationships, jobs, and health. At Searidge, we focus on two main parts of support:

Relationship Role

Keeping a healthy relationship with clear boundaries helps both the person in recovery and their supporter. It requires building trust, understanding, and open communication.Skills our Friends and Family will help your support team learn and understand.

Practical Role

Helping with important recovery tasks like getting to meetings and appointments, providing financial aid, or offering safe housing. These actions can lower stress and let the person focus on their recovery.

Our Approach to Family and Support Integration

At Searidge Alcohol Rehab, we know that recovery is tough not just for the person in need but also for their family and friends. Our programs focus on this by providing family counseling and small group sessions for loved ones, as well as support for partners.We teach our residents the importance of healing broken relationships. This is an important part of their recovery.
We understand that trust problems, trauma, strong emotions, and anger can make communication difficult between those recovering and their families. Our method encourages everyone to share their feelings and set boundaries, promoting healing together.

Support for Friends & Family

Addiction affects friends and family members more than you may think. This is why it is just as important that they too have access to a supportive and inclusive safe space. Our SMART meetings and Sober Recovery App for Friends and Family provide that space. 

Every week our Informed and educated SMART Recovery Facilitators will help you navigate the process of supporting a person who is in recovery.
