There’s more to overcoming addiction than just helping yourself. In fact, addiction is something that affects not only you but also those closest to you. Thankfully, your loved ones can engage in family therapy activities to move past addiction.

What Is Family Therapy?

As the name suggests, family therapy programs are sessions that involve the entire family. During these sessions, therapists work with family members to improve communication and overcome hardships. These goals are important because addiction puts a huge burden on families as a whole.

In fact, your family can participate in many family therapy ideas to heal from addiction. However, some of the goals of family therapy often include:

  • Improving communication
  • Rebuilding trust
  • Identifying hardships and problems within the family
  • Rooting out the cause of addiction
  • Identifying family members’ roles

The objective of all addiction therapy services is to address the main cause of addiction. Unfortunately, a large majority of addiction starts within the family and the environment in which you grow. Family therapy ideas can root out these problems and prevent relapse later.

Popular Family Therapy Activities

A number of family therapy ideas can improve communication among family members. One example is a game that therapists call “spotlight.” This game is about communicating with and learning more about your family members.

During this game, you all take turns writing down questions about yourselves. Then, you all read aloud the questions and write down your answers. Next, everyone reads their answers to see who gets them right. There are no winners or losers during this game, just learning more about loved ones.

Art therapy is among the most popular family therapy activities that rehab centers offer. Thankfully, it’s possible for you to combine art and family therapies. Creating art together is a great way for families to express themselves. In fact, most rehab centers use these family therapy activities with those who have a hard time communicating.

What Other Factors Play a Role in the Development of Addiction

While families play a major role in the development of addiction, other factors are at work too. For example, some experts believe that certain genes can make people more likely to develop an addiction. However, environmental factors, such as who they hang out with the most, also have a role.

Overall, the goal is to look at all of these contributing factors. Then, therapists can work on improving these negative aspects using addiction treatment programs. While some rehab centers have different approaches to addressing these issues, the goals remain the same.

Rebuild Communication in Your Family with Red Oak Recovery

To truly overcome addiction and start the healing process, you have to include your family members. At the very least, you have to reopen lines of communication with those you’ve hurt. At Red Oak Recovery, we work with you to achieve that goal. Some of the programs that we use include:

  • Partial hospitalization programs
