Family Support
The impact of addiction extends beyond the individual. The negative consequences of the progressive disease of addiction encompasses the family and community as well. All individuals impacted by addiction experience significant disconnection from self and others, as well as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual distress.
Recovery is also progressive in nature and possible for all individuals impacted by addiction. Loved ones, family members, colleagues, workplaces, and communities can all benefit from beginning a path of healing from addiction.
The Evolve Family Program at Pegasus provides an integrative approach to healing, designed to move beyond addiction towards a life of recovery – for the whole family.
Everyone in the family is negatively affected by alcoholism and addiction.
When loved ones suffer from addiction – family members do too. Family members can often develop maladaptive coping tools and addictive processes of codependency or co-addiction.
Symptoms of Codependency can include:
- excessive focus on or worry about another person
- difficulty setting boundaries
- tendency to try to control or take care of another
- seeing another person as needy or not competent
- poor self-care
- enabling someone’s addictive behaviour
- difficulty identifying one’s own needs, preferences, wants
- feelings of guilt, shame, fear
- physical symptoms: headaches, gastrointestinal problems, hypertension, insomnia
