Where families grow stronger
Family Therapy for Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles
A safe space for real connection
What Is Group Therapy?
Family therapy is a collaborative therapeutic process that helps families understand drug & alcohol addiction, address communication issues, and support their loved one’s recovery. Sessions bring family members together with a licensed therapist to discuss challenges and learn healthier ways of interacting. In addiction treatment, family therapy focuses on repairing relationships, breaking unhealthy patterns, and creating a supportive environment that reduces relapse risk.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), family involvement significantly improves treatment outcomes in both drug and alcohol addiction. By engaging families early in the recovery process, clients gain a stronger support system and a healthier home environment as they move forward.
Tools that strengthen your family’s recovery
How Family Therapy Works at Wellness Detox LA
Family therapy at Wellness Detox LA is guided and focused on helping families communicate better. But also understand addiction, and support their loved one’s long-term recovery. Sessions are led by licensed clinicians and typically occur once a week, with additional meetings as needed based on the client’s treatment plan.
During therapy, families explore the impact of addiction on trust, boundaries and communication. Clinicians help families express emotions safely, identify unhealthy patterns, and learn tools that reduce conflict. The goal is to create a healthier family environment that supports sobriety during detox, residential treatment, dual diagnosis care, and all the way to aftercare and months after treatment. We aim at:
Understanding Addiction Together
Families learn how substance use affects the brain, emotions, and behavior.
Supporting Without Losing Yourself
Loved ones learn how to help without neglecting their own needs or wellbeing.
Setting Healthy Boundaries
Clinicians teach how to create boundaries that protect the family and support recovery.
Healing Unresolved Conflict
Sessions address past hurt, broken promises, and emotional wounds in a safe structure.
Managing Emotional Triggers

Creating a Supportive Home Environment
