Family Resources

When someone confronts substance use disorder, it affects the whole family. At the Community Fairbanks Recovery Center, we understand how important support is and encourage family involvement as part of the overall recovery process.

Family members must understand what their loved one is going through, which is why we provide family education for adults and adolescents. We teach families about substance use disorders, while providing the necessary support to help the entire family cope during this difficult and confusing time.

While participating in treatment programs, the family has the opportunity to speak with your loved one’s primary counselor. Family sessions may be scheduled to enable everyone to gain more insight and education about substance use disorders. We also incorporate inpatient visitation for adolescents and young adults with family programs.
