Other Services

We Drive Family Recovery Home

Las Vegas Recovery Center Family Renewal Program
We base our family recovery services on our belief that addiction is a family disease. This also includes those who suffer with chronic pain. Family participation, education, and recovery are vital to the successful outcome of long-term sustained recovery and change. Client participation is also vital if family members are to understand:

Our family recovery program is designed to guide family members on how to be okay emotionally, spiritually, and mentally regardless of the decisions of their loved one (addict/client) during or after treatment. We will support, educate, and assist family members in identifying healthy boundaries. Most families in recovery report feeling powerless over their loved ones. In fact, with a little support, which our approach provides, families find they can take charge of the situation and find the solution. Actually, by the time the addict/client completes treatment at LVRC, family members will have learned many tools for maintaining their own peace and serenity no matter what their loved ones do or do not do. To assist family members in achieving this, we provide a number of options.
Family Renewal Weekend

Our specially designed Family Renewal Program helps family members start on their own journey of discovery and recovery. The intensive four-day workshop begins with a welcome session that highlights the topics to be covered. Each day educational lectures are presented by our team of addiction and chronic pain pain experts and are followed by process groups that allow family recovery members to discuss their personal concerns, as well as ask questions about the subjects presented. These educational lectures are interactive and family participation is strongly encouraged. Here attendees will find everything they need to know about codependency, addictive disorders, and chronic pain treatment and recovery.

Family Recovery Support Group

The family recovery support group is free and open to any family member seeking recovery. The group provides identification, support, and solutions by a trained family recovery counselor. It currently meets every Friday at 6:00 p.m. at LVRC (click for more info).
