Synopsis

Enable families afflicted with substance Abuse disorder (SUD) to live joy-filled lives.

Healthy family dynamics can be hard for anyone. Adding SUD to that mix makes it more complicated and painful. Healing Families is written by certified peer coaches and licensed counselors with decades of experience both with helping other families cope with SUD, as well as having their own personal experience with family members battling the devastating effects of addiction.

Created for peer coaches by peer coaches, this book utilizes a tried-and-true approach to helping families pioneered by the Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP), and successfully put to the test in their own lives. Compassionate and 12 Step-based, it offers the tools to help families dealing with addiction get their lives back and lovingly enable their loved one’s sobriety.

Inside, you’ll find:

• An intellectual and emotional understanding of how SUD affects each member of the family.
• Effective methods to help families rebuild their lives and enable their loved-one’s sobriety.
• The tools needed to start and run your own alternative peer group for family members.
• A deep understanding of the Higher-Power-based culture that binds each of the components of this program into an effective whole.

Families can find happiness and purpose whether their loved ones are in recovery or not (yet). Healing Families shows peer coaches and anyone working with them how to turn frustration and despair into hope and joy.
