Does Drug Treatment Programs Include Activities or Lectures Regarding Family Issues?

Question by Fatima: Does drug treatment programs include activities or lectures regarding family issues?
My brother Jeff checked into a drug rehab a week ago and I miss him. He says that he’s doing just fine and that he’s enjoying the activities and the lectures included in the program. I think he’s in for a fast recovery. Before entering rehab, he had a rift with our dad. They had a fight about his addiction with marijuana. There were shouting and blaming all over the place that the only thing that my mom managed to do is cry. I was wondering if the rehab provides lectures or discussions about rebuilding relationships with family members. I’m wishing for a reconciliation between Jeff and dad.

The answer to your question is yes. During their stay inside a drug rehab, patients are not only cured from their abuse of substances but are also trained to improve their behavior. There are seminars in which they are given the chance to open up about their family to let the counselors see through the type of environment they grew up in. Rehab programs also aim to rebuild whatever damage the drugs may have caused the family. In fact, there are even programs offered to family members of patients to help them deal with a loved one’s addiction. Those programs will help them recover faster from the shock and the pain brought by the addiction. Ask your parents to try the program. I don’t think it would hurt them. I’ll pray for your brother’s fast recovery and I’ll pray for a reconciliation between him and your dad.
