Addiction is a family illness
Too often the family is torn apart by the unpredictable behaviour of the addict or alcoholic. Our experience is that informed family members, working their own recovery programme, greatly enhance the success of the treatment.

Being able to share feelings of anger, frustration, depression and exhaustion, coupled with a deeper understanding of the disease is the beginning of the recovery process for the family.

We offer a family programme, which focuses on creating constructive ways of learning to live in harmony with the problem. This is held at Kenilworth Place every Saturday morning from 9am - 12pm and includes a morning tea.

The programme has a 6-week cycle and is not exclusively for those who have an addict or alcoholic in primary treatment. Participants can commence on any Saturday and attendance
of at least four sessions is strongly recommended. The cost is R50 per person per weekly session.

Family members are also strongly encouraged to empower themselves in their own recovery process through on-going participation in Al-Anon or Nar-Anon.
