What makes our program unique:
We believe that recovery isn’t just about sobriety—it’s about rebuilding relationships, nurturing trust, and restoring love within the whole family.
Family therapy is a form of counseling that focuses on improving the family dynamics that contribute to or are affected by addiction. At Voyager, we recognize that addiction isn’t just a behavior—it’s often a symptom of deeper emotional pain or dysfunction within the family system.
Our licensed family therapists guide families through structured family therapy sessions that promote open communication, empathy, and accountability. These sessions help identify negative patterns, such as enabling, denial, or conflict avoidance, and replace them with healthy interaction styles that support the recovery process.
By addressing the whole family, not just the individual in treatment, we create a foundation for lasting healing and mutual understanding.
Including the family in addiction treatment brings enormous benefits to everyone involved—not just the person in recovery.

Our team is standing by to help you or your loved one admit into treatment. Don’t hesitate to make what could be the most important phone call of your life.
Addiction and mental health are deeply intertwined. Many families face challenges such as depression, anxiety, or trauma that contribute to unhealthy patterns of behavior.
Through family therapy, we address these underlying issues by exploring how emotional distress impacts both addiction and relationships. By improving emotional intelligence and empathy, family members can support—not sabotage—each other’s healing.
Our family therapy program aligns with the principles of the Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), emphasizing an integrated model that supports emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and positive changes across the entire household.
A healthy home environment is one of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery. That’s why our therapists work closely with families to transform the home into a supportive, recovery-focused space.
We help families:
Our goal is to help families shift from crisis management to a proactive, nurturing support system where everyone feels seen and heard.
Healing begins with understanding—and no one should have to face addiction alone. At Voyager Recovery Center, our family therapy program helps families repair what addiction has broken and rediscover what truly connects them.
