There are three components of the family addiction recovery program: 1.

Early: The idea of the family taking the initiative to intervene in a loved-one's alcohol/drug use (or other compulsive and self-destructive behavior) was first developed in the 1970s by Dr. Vernon Johnson.
Similar to techniques used by large companies helping employees get into treatment, he framed his strategy around the presentation of clear concerns regarding the damage from alcohol or other drugs.
A number of advances in the strategy have evolved.
Middle: To a small degree in 1986, but especially in 1987 the explicit expression of caring and love as fundamental to the process was more broadly recognized in the professional literature.

With addiction, there is no need to be harsh or abrupt.
Always gentle and loving, we help the family address the compulsive and self-destructive behaviors, including gambling and eating disorders.
In getting your loved one to rehab, we tailor the process to the needs of the loved-one and the individual family.
One-size of family drug intervention does not fit all families and research guides is the least effective.
Toward drug rehab intervention sensitive, personalized adaptations are provided that respect the diversity of cultural and ethnic background, gender, orientation, developmental disabilities, and needs of the loved-one; including the elderly.

Most of these people with addiction recently came to us in relapse after treatment (with most having repeated treatment many times, with subsequent relapses).
Treatment provides structure for beginning to obtain early recovery skills to combat brain craving for early recovery.
But, addicts and families also need to develop the capacity as a family unit to deal with loss, grief, small and larger trauma.
Family addiction education (Level 2) (Doherty and Baird, 1986), at best, only begins such a process; but is almost always absent the addict.
