Rent It Takes a Family: Creating Lasting Sobriety, Togetherness, and Happiness (Love First Family Recovery)

Synopsis

Addiction turns family members into adversaries. Structured Family Recovery® brings them back together. As a companion to Love First, the classic guide to family intervention, It Takes a Family is a popular resource for families and friends who want to step beyond the initial intervention and reinvent their relationships to prevent relapse and support lifelong sobriety. In straightforward, compassionate language, well-known counselor and interventionist Debra Jay outlines a structured model for creating a family recovery team in which family members work together to overcome the obstacles many people with substance use disorders face in the first years of recovery. Through practical, easy-to-follow strategies and exercises designed to create transparency and accountability, family members learn about and address the challenges of enabling, denial, and pain while developing their communication skills and embracing the joy that comes from healthier and happier relationships.
