Addiction impacts more than the individuals struggling to break free — it affects entire families. When you’re ready to seek rehab and recovery, you will need guidance and support, and so will your family. At Gateway Foundation in Jacksonville, IL, we understand that both you and your loved ones will need help during your recovery journey so that you can find renewed hope and healing together.
As part of our complete, individualized approach, our family therapy program integrates your family and loved ones into your care to give you a greater chance for long-term recovery.
Counseling is an essential part of the addiction recovery process. While individual therapy is important, family therapy allows all the members of a family to heal and recover together.
The therapeutic setting is an ideal space where the entire family can adjust to a loved one’s recovery from addiction in a safe and positive space. Family therapy encourages each member of the family to make specific changes that will improve the home environment and heal broken relationships within the family unit.
At Gateway, we have a broader sense of the term “family.” Your family therapy sessions could include blood relatives, a spouse or anyone emotionally invested in your well-being and recovery.
When you come to our Jacksonville, IL, treatment center, we take the time to understand your unique needs so that we can design a highly personalized program for your care. Involving your loved ones in your recovery improves the chances of long-term success, while also improving the mental and emotional health of each family member.

At Gateway Foundation, we see how addiction significantly affects the family unit, breaking down relationships and hurting individuals. Through positive change, family therapy for addiction at our Jacksonville center helps break unhealthy behaviors related to substance abuse and foster healthy individual growth.
During your treatment, your family will learn how they can support your overall health and sobriety. They will also get the care they need to heal from their own struggles. Through improved insight, learning and communication, our goal is to help your family come out of treatment prepared to work together for a healthier and happier future.
