Family Therapy & Workshops

Addiction doesn’t just affect one person. It touches the entire family. When a loved one is struggling, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, confused, or helpless. At MLB Recovery, we understand how substance use impacts the whole household. That’s why we offer family therapy and workshops designed to support every member of your family on the path to healing.

Why Family Support Matters in Addiction Treatment

Addiction creates disconnection, whether it be between partners, between parents and children, or between friends. Emotions such as anger, guilt, or fear can accumulate over time, leading to resentments and leaving families uncertain about how to move forward. That’s where family support comes in. When loved ones are involved in the recovery process, outcomes are stronger and more sustainable. At MLB Recovery, we help families understand the science behind addiction, learn new tools, and grow together in a way that supports long-term recovery for everyone involved.

What to Expect from Family Therapy Sessions

Family therapy sessions are held in a supportive, structured setting led by a licensed therapist. Each session is tailored to your unique dynamic and designed to foster honest, healing conversations.

Common focus areas include:

Rebuilding trust and open communication
Working through guilt, grief, or resentment
Sharing honesty letters and practicing active listening
Preparing for life after treatment, including setting expectations
Creating healthy boundaries and family agreements

The goal isn’t to assign blame. It’s to move forward together with clarity and compassion.

Family Workshops in Outpatient Rehab

In addition to private family therapy, MLB Recovery offers family workshops as part of our outpatient addiction treatment in New Jersey. These educational and experiential workshops are designed to deepen your knowledge of addiction, mental health, and family systems. Through hands-on activities, guided discussions, and presentations, you’ll explore topics like:

Codependency and enabling behaviors
The science of addiction and relapse prevention
Navigating difficult conversations
Self-care for family members

Our workshops foster a sense of community among families who are going through similar experiences, reminding you that you’re not alone in this journey.

Compassionate Care at Every Level

At MLB Recovery, we know that addiction affects the whole family, and healing does too. No matter where you or your loved one is in the recovery journey, we’re here to provide compassionate, expert-led support that strengthens the entire support system. Our environment is calm, nonjudgmental, and rooted in human connection. Because we believe true healing begins when people feel safe, heard, and supported.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers the highest level of outpatient care. It is designed for individuals who need intensive daily support but do not require 24-hour supervision. This program is ideal for those in the early stages of recovery or transitioning from inpatient treatment. With a structured, full-day schedule, PHP provides a strong foundation for healing.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at MLB Recovery is ideal for individuals who have begun to stabilize and are ready to reintegrate into daily life while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work. This level of care offers greater flexibility than PHP, making it a strong fit for those balancing recovery with responsibilities like work, school, or caregiving.

Outpatient Program (OP)

In our Outpatient Program (OP), clients and families focus on strengthening the progress made during earlier phases of treatment while preparing for living life in long-term recovery. Therapy at this level shifts toward addressing long-term goals, deeper emotional healing, and repairing relationships. With continued support, clients and their families are never alone as they navigate this new chapter, ensuring that the foundations for lasting recovery are solid and sustainable.
