Family Counseling at SecondNewLife
At SecondNewLife, we accept that addiction and mental health challenges don’t just affect the individuals but can have a deep impact on your loved ones. When your loved one is struggling, it can create inner conflict, misunderstanding, and broken relationships that make healing feel out of reach. That’s why our family counseling program is a foundation of our comprehensive addiction treatment strategy. SecondNewLife offers you and your family this opportunity through our family counseling program.
Why is Family Counseling Important?
Addiction not only affects your life but also your whole family as well. Addiction changes the relationships of families in heartfelt ways. It can lead to broken communication and mistrust within families. It also gives rise to unreasonable anger and emotional unavailability. Family members may become powerless and confused. People can even blame family members for this situation. These issues undermine the recovery of an individual without proper guidance. It also affects the welfare and health of the family members. Thus, our family counseling helps rebuild trust and repair relationships within the family. It also creates a supportive environment that encourages long-term recovery of the individual.
- Prevent relapse
- Improve communication
- Heal damaged relationships
- Set healthy boundaries
- Understand addictions as a family disease
Family Counseling and Therapies at SecondNewLife
At SecondNewLife, we use proven treatment methods to ensure our family sessions are effective, healing, and customized to your needs. Counseling and therapy for addiction commonly involve counseling for family members in addition to the person on their recovery journey. Therapy teaches families the root causes of addiction, how to minimize risk factors for relapse, and how to support their loved one in addiction recovery. SecondNewLife Family therapies include the following:
Behavioral Family Therapy
Behavioral Family Therapy addresses problems that affect the whole family. Behavioral Family Therapy is an evidence-based treatment verified to lower substance use, improve behavior, and enhance family relationships. If you are a parent, sibling, spouse, or caregiver, your role in your loved one’s recovery is powerful. Behavioral Family Therapy gives you the tools to make that role a Rehabilitation one. SecondNewLife offers Behavioral Family Therapy as part of our comprehensive treatment approach.
Functional Family Therapy
Functional family therapy is also based on the concept that broken family interactions create and support problematic behavior. Functional Family Therapy at SecondNewLife helps families overcome conflict, rebuild trust, and support their loved one’s recovery through structured, joint therapy. If your family is facing addiction, defiance, communication breakdowns, or court involvement, Functional Family Therapy gives you the tools to move forward together.
Multidimensional Family Therapy
Multidimensional Family Therapy is a complete, integrated therapy model that helps teenagers and young adults recover from substance use, emotional problems, and risky behavior by improving how the entire family system functions. During multidimensional family sessions, parents analyze their parenting style and learn to positively and effectively control healthy behavior. Multidimensional Family Therapy identifies that drug use is not caused by one factor alone. It is affected by family behaviour, peer pressure, emotional regulation, school engagement, trauma history, and more.

Therapists use quick strategic family therapy to reduce family interactions that support or worsen teen drug abuse or problematic behavior.
