Addiction is a Family Disease: Hazelden’s Family Program

Addiction is a Family Disease: Hazelden’s Family Program – Hazelden’s Family Program is designed to promote the well-being of those who live with or care about an adult with an addiction. Through education and guidance, participants learn they can’t control their loved one’s addiction, but they can take responsibility for their own health and happiness. In this video, you see the family program helps to alleviate confusion and anxiety and promotes healing by identifying how addiction affects families and what family members can do to take care of themselves. Loved ones of those with addiction learn that they can’t control addiction, they didn’t cause addiction, and they can’t cure addiction. By becoming aware of the beliefs and experiences that shape their own behaviors, participants identify new, healthy ways of coping with addiction and relationships.
