Family Therapy at 405 Recovery in Southern California
Introduction to Family Therapy in Drug Addiction Treatment
Family therapy is not merely a treatment modality but a transformative experience that acknowledges the profound impact of addiction on both the individual and their family. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), family therapy, also known as family counseling, includes interventions that reflect family-level assessments, involvement, and approaches. At 405 Recovery, we understand that healing from addiction is a journey that involves the entire family unit. This form of therapy plays a crucial role in mending the strained bonds, addressing the emotional turmoil and mental health issues, and building a supportive environment necessary for recovery.
At its core, DBT combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements from philosophical and contemplative practices, mainly from Buddhist mindfulness. The term “dialectical” refers to the therapy’s emphasis on balancing and integrating opposing concepts—namely, acceptance and change—to bring about positive behavioral outcomes.

FAQS
At 405 Recovery Center, we understand that each family brings its unique dynamic, history, and set of challenges. Our family therapy program is highly adaptable, designed to meet these varying needs. We start with a thorough assessment of each family’s specific situation, including the nature of the addiction, the family’s history, and the individual roles within the family unit. Our therapists then tailor the therapeutic approach, whether it’s addressing communication issues, resolving conflicts, or dealing with deep-seated emotional wounds. This personalized approach ensures that each family receives the specific care and attention needed to foster healing and understanding.
Absolutely. Family therapy can be incredibly effective in cases of long-standing addiction. In these situations, addiction often has deeply entrenched patterns and impacts on family relationships. Our therapists are experienced in dealing with complex, long-term addiction cases and work to uncover and address these deep-rooted issues. Through a process of exploration, communication, and understanding, family therapy helps to heal old wounds, change harmful behavioral patterns, and build new, healthier ways of relating to each other. This process is not only beneficial for the person struggling with addiction but also for the entire family, as it brings about a deeper understanding and a stronger, more supportive family unit.
Family participation is a cornerstone of effective addiction recovery. When family members are actively involved in the therapy process, it creates a supportive and unified environment that significantly enhances the recovery journey. Family involvement means that everyone is working towards the same goal – understanding the nature of addiction, healing from its effects, and supporting the family member in recovery. This unified approach provides the individual with a strong support system, reduces feelings of isolation and misunderstanding, and fosters a healthy environment for recovery. Additionally, family participation helps in addressing and rectifying the dysfunctional dynamics that may have contributed to or exacerbated the addiction.
Our support for families extends well beyond the completion of the therapy program. At 405 Recovery Center, we provide a comprehensive aftercare support system that includes continued access to counseling, support groups, and educational resources. We understand that recovery is an ongoing journey, and maintaining the health and harmony of the family unit is crucial. Our aftercare program is designed to provide families with the tools and support they need to navigate the challenges of post-treatment life. This includes ongoing counseling sessions, access to support groups where families can share experiences and strategies, and educational resources to help families stay informed about addiction and recovery.
