Since those medications will be prescribed outside of our facility clients will be required to monitor their own prescription and ensure they do not run out of their medication on their own.

Why is Family Therapy important?
Addiction doesn't just affect the individual but the entire family. The family needs to have an understanding of the thoughts and processes that make up their loved one's addiction.
