Family Program

Chemical dependency affects the whole family. Families can live in a world of confusion and unpredictability and often feel helpless, frustrated, and responsible. Emotional support is needed to overcome these feelings. The Family Program is designed to help family members and significant others understand the disease of addiction through education.  As family members begin to share their problems with others, they learn that they are not alone, that they are not at fault and that recovery is possible.  Family recovery helps bridge the transition from treatment to home.

Tara provides a weekly Family Program for family members age 11 and older at no cost. For children age10 and under they will spend quality time with the parent who is currently in one of our residential programs. Members of the community are also welcome to attend and do not need a loved one in treatment to participate.
