Frequently Asked Questions About
Family Therapy for Substance Abuse
We understand that starting therapy can bring up many questions. To help you feel more comfortable and prepared, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries about our therapy sessions at Radix Recovery. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
Family therapy focuses on the interactions, behaviors, and communication among family members, rather than just the individual in recovery. It addresses how the family system functions and how those patterns may influence addiction or recovery. The goal is to support the entire family unit, not just one person.
What should we expect during the first family therapy session?
The first session often involves discussing each family member’s perspective, setting goals, and identifying concerns. The therapist will help establish ground rules to ensure respectful communication and emotional safety. It’s a time to understand where each person is coming from and begin building a shared path forward.
What if some family members don’t want to participate?
It’s common for some family members to feel hesitant or resistant. While participation is encouraged, therapy can still be effective even if not everyone is involved right away. Sometimes, starting with those who are willing can lead to further engagement over time.
Is family therapy only for immediate family members?
Not at all. While immediate family often plays a primary role, extended family members, close friends, or chosen family who are part of the person’s support system can also be included. The therapist will help determine who can contribute positively to the therapeutic process.
How does family therapy fit into a broader treatment plan?
Family therapy complements other treatment services such as individual therapy, group counseling, or medical care. It provides a relational context that supports the client’s progress in other areas. Together, these services create a more holistic and effective approach to recovery.
What if we’ve already tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
Not all therapy experiences are the same. If past attempts weren’t successful, it doesn’t mean family therapy won’t work now – especially when it’s integrated into a focused addiction treatment plan. With the right therapist and approach, families often find new clarity and connection.
