Family Healing Strategies
Family Healing Strategies
One component of the Family Wellness Program is focused on helping families recover and become part of the solution. Through the services of noted Family Addictions Consultant, Diana Clark, JD, MACP, Mountainside offers families a unique program to educate and provide family members with the tools needed to become, or remain, healthy when a family member is ill.

“Families are the hidden victims of addiction, enduring enormous levels of stress and pain. They suffer sleepless nights, deep anxiety and physical exhaustion brought on by worry and desperation. They live each day with a weight inside that drags them down”
How can I help my loved one?
A loving and healthy family aids the recovery process.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide families with the tools they need to become or remain healthy when a member of their family is ill; and to understand what behavior is helpful and what behavior is harmful to a substance abuser.
