Family and Couples Workshops
The Ashley Family Workshops are intended to educate and provide guidance to family members who have a loved one with a substance abuse addiction. These workshops have two focuses: the family with a loved one who has relapsed, or relationship enhancement for couples wherein at least one person is in recovery.
These workshops are not treatment for active alcoholism or drug addiction, and we cannot permit people who are using substances to participate. If you are looking for treatment for your addiction, click here for our inpatient treatment options.
"A Family's Survival Guide for Addiction"
Staying Healthy When Someone You Love is Actively Addicted WorkshopRelapse hurts. Witnessing a loved one return to alcohol and/or drug use is frightening, sad and confusing. Don’t bear the burden alone.
This workshop will provide you with the support, education and tools to not only survive, but to thrive even when your loved one struggles with addiction. You will mindfully explore your feelings, resources and boundaries to create a balanced action plan by the day’s end.
"Couples Enhancement" WorkshopWhen one or both people in a relationship have a history of addiction, there are special issues that the partners need to address in order to have healthy intimacy and support in the relationship. The Couples' Workshops are geared toward committed couples that are able to work together well to promote growth in the relationship. Activities will be positively worded and interactive, addressing getting to know and understand each other better, improving overall communication and discussing needs, among other topics.
Please note: These workshops are not intended to save troubled marriages, where the issues are significant enough to warrant individual marital counseling and the couple would not be best served in a group setting.
