Get Help NowOvercoming addiction problems is practically impossible without support. While professional assistance is irreplaceable, support from your loved ones has a special meaning and is often the main source of strength and persistence in recovery. Knowing this, we at Lake Point Recovery & Wellness in Arkansas include family therapy for substance use disorders in our rehab programs. Call us and let us guide you and your family through the path of recovery!
What Is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a specific type of group therapy, meaning it relies on group dynamics (in this case, family dynamics) to identify potential underlying causes of mental health issues. It uses various techniques and approaches to analyze relationships and family constellations. Furthermore, it sees family as a resource to resolve identified issues and problems.
If we have to single out one objective the family therapy has, it would have to be to make each family member feel better. Family therapy is often introduced into treatments for various mental health conditions, aiming to help not only the person struggling but also the entire family to manage this new situation for them. After family therapy for substance use disorders, each family member will gain a better understanding of their situation. They will also become more accepting of the challenges their family is facing.
Who Can Benefit from Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a useful means to deal with various life challenges and issues. While anyone struggling with communication and misunderstanding in a family can benefit from this type of therapy, there are several categories of individuals and families that will benefit from it the most:
- Families facing substance use challenges: Addiction is not an individual problem but one that affects the entire community. Research indicates that mixing families and addiction can have devastating effects. It takes time to recognize and accept this problem, but family therapy for substance use disorders eases the process.
- Individuals and families struggling with mental health conditions: Like addiction, mental health problems and disturbances are likely to affect not just the individual struggling with it, but also their family. Oftentimes, there is a strong desire to help a loved one. But there is also the inability to do so; this creates emotional distress and makes family members feel helpless. Family therapy can help them acquire the skills to support one another.
- Family members experiencing codependency, enabling, or boundary issues: Sometimes, family members do not have clear boundaries between themselves, and they are rather codependent and enable each other’s poor behavior.
- Those with communication breakdowns: As different life challenges happen in one’s life, they might impose struggles in family functioning, like communication issues. Fortunately, they can be resolved; family therapy is a good place to start.
- Families seeking healing after trauma, separation, or loss. Family members may experience these negative events in various ways. Despite close connections and shared emotions, they may start distancing themselves. Family therapy is meant to unite people and remind them that they are stronger when they support each other.
If your family is facing any of these challenges, our compassionate team at Lake Point Recovery & Wellness is here to guide you. Reach out today to learn more about how family therapy can help restore connection, healing, and support.
How Family Therapy Works at Lake Point Recovery & Wellness
While there are some rules on how to conduct family therapy, each facility has its specificities, making their approach unique. Lake Point Recovery & Wellness emphasizes certain elements of family therapy for substance use disorders, and these are the factors setting us apart from other facilities in Arkansas:
- We conduct sessions that include individuals, partners, parents, children, or multiple family members. Family is a system, and it can consist of different members. Family therapy relies on several techniques that can be adapted to individuals or couples. We even offer specialized women’s substance use disorder treatment programs.
- Our licensed therapists have experience in addiction and mental health recovery and will seamlessly guide you and your family on the road to healing. They are knowledgeable and genuinely caring, and they are constantly strengthening their skills, aiming to provide the best possible services. Furthermore, they have a holistic view of people and problems and treat you as a whole rather than a collection of symptoms.
- Lake Point Recovery & Wellness offers a safe space to share, listen, and set healthy boundaries. Only when you feel physically and psychologically safe will you want to express yourself and work on your internal struggles. We understand this, so we made our environment comfortable and welcoming, ensuring you feel the healing power of the surroundings.
- Our family therapy for substance use disorders is not a standalone practice but rather an element integrated into a broader treatment plan, customized to each family’s needs. We ensure you receive treatment that addresses your particular challenges and triggers, both within the family and within your environment.

They helped with finding me a new place, new job, and head start for my daughter. I have learned to become a better person and woman because of this program. I love the counselors, administration, and the day care workers. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will forever cherish this experience.”
Cassidy Edwards
I’ve been sober since I left here. I’ve struggled with addiction for a couple years but this place played a huge part in my recovery. Best program I’ve ever been to. Love the people that work there. They really do care about you. Would 10/10 recommend.
Megan Black
This place was great. I was with them for 5 months and they really went above and beyond with helping me. They helped with a place to live and they helped me to develop the tools I needed for continued success. Thanks to Lakepoint I am employed, in suitable housing, and working toward getting my kids back. I am a SOBER functioning member of society and for that I am eternally greatful. The real world is a tough place to be on your own, so if you need help getting sober and learning how to make it, this place is definitely the place to go.
Kaitlin Barrow
I am thankful for this resource. From the people you talk to over the phone to the admin and counselors every one seems to be on the same mission. The actual grounds are clean and well kept and the culture is one of safety with responsibility.
Rick Mitchell
Well, In my case I was really sick, broken would have been a understatement. But in my journey at LP I learned that somethings in life you can’t fix alone or even with self medication. The staff was genuinely concerned, the food was hot daily. The lessons where more about how to fix yourself from the inside first and to ask for help if ever you feel like it is too much. I’d like to especially thank Mrs. Jessica for being a great support a great advisor and now a great motivation for me. Thanks Lake Point for saving the life I had left and the new life I now live. Truly a blessing.
Robert Stovall

Frequently Asked Questions
Can family therapy work if only one person is in treatment?
Although not a typical way of working, family therapy can be organized with an individual. In this case, rather than requiring the whole family to attend the session, the therapist works with a single family member to address issues that impact the entire family. The therapist will adapt techniques that work with the whole family for use with one person.
How is family therapy different from group therapy?
The most important difference relates to the closeness of people in the session. In group therapy, you will be meeting many different people with similar experiences in substance use disorders. You share this experience with them, but you do not have an emotional relationship with them. On the other hand, you share this emotional relationship with family members, but you are not necessarily sharing experiences and struggles.
Is family therapy available virtually?
While some facilities offer online therapy, we believe that face-to-face sessions give better results. Family therapy aims to connect, so being together can foster unity. We understand it can be challenging to ensure all family members are available at the same time, and we put effort into making this easier for you.
What if my family isn’t willing to participate?
You can’t force someone into therapy if this is not their wish. Including family in substance use disorder treatment is important but not crucial for the success of your rehab. You will have professional staff to rely on. Furthermore, in group therapies, you can find people who can provide you with acceptance and support. Finally, family therapy can be adapted for one-on-one sessions, so you can still take advantage of it.
