Family Support

Supporting the families of halfway house clients is crucial, as they play a significant role in the recovery process. Families often serve as a cornerstone of support, offering love, understanding, and encouragement during their loved one’s journey towards sobriety. However, navigating this path can be challenging, as family members may grapple with their own emotions, uncertainties, and questions about how best to support their loved one.

At New Horizon Halfway House, we recognise the vital importance of family support in the recovery journey. We understand that addiction impacts not just the individual but also their loved ones, and that addressing the needs of the entire family unit is essential for long-term success. Our approach goes beyond individual care; it extends to providing comprehensive support and resources for families to navigate this challenging yet transformative experience.

By offering education, counselling, and practical guidance, we empower families to become active participants in the recovery process. Our goal is to create a collaborative environment where families feel supported, informed, and equipped with the tools they need to foster healing and resilience within their family dynamic.

Together, we can strengthen the foundation of support that is integral to sustained recovery and well-being for both our clients and their families.
