Family-Centered Approach

A family-centered approach focuses on the parent’s recovery and the development of their children. It works to support overall family functioning while meeting the needs of each individual family member. 

This approach is designed to benefit families across two generations: preventing developmental challenges and future development of SUD and mental health disorders in children.

By implementing a family-centered approach in SUD treatments, providers can make a conscious effort to prevent the cycle of generational substance abuse, and give children the best chance to live healthy, happy lives.
