Family Roles In Addiction: Advice For Recovering From A Family Disease

When it comes to addiction, it’s important to remember that it is a family disease. When one person in the family struggles with addiction, it impacts everyone - the turmoil, pain, and confusion it brings ripple through every relationship, leaving no parent, sibling, or spouse unmarked. There is good news, however - Families can and do heal together. 

If you have a loved one who is struggling with addiction, you may find yourself asking the question, “How can I navigate this tumultuous journey without falling into the trap of enabling my loved one?” The importance of family involvement in the recovery process cannot be overstated. When families commit to healing together, they can break the cycles of pain and rebuild trust and connection.

In this podcast takeover, Julie DeNofa, President of Positive Recovery Centers, and Colleen Hargrove, LCDC, Outpatient Manager at PRC—Round Rock, discuss the various family roles in addiction and how to support your loved ones on their journey to recovery. Be sure to tune in as Julie and Colleen explore the delicate balance between providing support for recovery and enabling addiction, offering practical tips and real-life examples of families who have successfully navigated this path.
