At Santé Center for Healing, supporting families is a central part of the recovery process. Addiction affects far more than the person struggling with it: loved ones also need education, connection, and dedicated support. Our Family Support programming is designed to help families understand addiction, strengthen boundaries, heal relational patterns, and learn how to walk alongside their loved one with clarity and hope.
Family & Friends Support Group
Our Family & Friends Support Group is open to the families and loved ones of Santé patients and to the community. This group meets twice each month and is facilitated by Santé’s clinical team.
What to Expect
Each meeting includes two parts:
- Psychoeducation on rotating topics related to addiction, boundaries, communication, and recovery.
- Staff-facilitated support group discussion that gives families a space to ask questions, share experiences, and learn how to apply insights from the session.
This group is where families find hope, wisdom, and connection with others walking a similar path.

Family Therapy Series
During the first 30 days of a patient’s treatment, families participate in a structured three-session therapy series. These individual sessions can be completed in person or online and help families build a foundational understanding of their loved one’s healing process.
Topics include:
- What is Addiction
- Codependency & Boundaries
- Family Rules & Roles
Family Intensives
Family Intensives provide a powerful opportunity for deeper healing between patients and their loved ones. These individualized sessions create a safe, therapeutic environment for difficult conversations and meaningful breakthroughs.
Family Intensives begin only after the patient has been in residential treatment for at least 30 days so both the patient and family have the stability, support, and preparation necessary for the work.
