Sharp McDonald Center
Substance Abuse Family Care Program at Sharp McDonald Center
Family involvement is an essential component for successful recovery.
Drug and alcohol addiction is an illness that affects the entire family, not just one individual. Research shows that family involvement in substance abuse treatment is crucial for a healthy recovery.

Family counseling programs.
The family programs are available with all levels of care and are open-ended multiple family therapy groups for both the patient and family members.
Participants address early recovery issues, examine significant relationship dysfunctions and develop support networks for the entire family. All family members and patients are encouraged to attend both during and after the individual's treatment process.
The Family Care Program at Sharp McDonald Center is now available through our virtual services to families. To protect the health and safety of our community during the pandemic, the on-campus Family Care Program has been suspended until further notice.
