Family Program


Addiction is a family disease. For this reason, De Novo provides a Family Program tailored to support the family members and loved ones who are 18 years of age or older. The focus of the program is on the family member, the disease of addiction, and its impact on the family unit.
Family Program content involves education and life skills, touching on topics such as healthy boundaries, communication, grief, detachment, selfcare, Al-Anon, and other family supports and resources.
Family members can enroll in one of our scheduled Family Program sessions at any time. De Novo offers a one-day session approximately once every five weeks. Please contact our Admissions team for a list of program dates.
