The relationship between trauma and addiction for patients and their family members is a vital part of the recovery process.  Family work in addiction treatment allows the patient and their loved ones to recognize the impact of acute/chronic trauma on family formation, system functioning, enabling behaviors, and other boundary issues. However, trauma/PTSD has an impact on treatment efficiency and patient/family relapse as well.

Join this webinar and learn about the role that family work plays in treatment. Also an assessment of secondary trauma experienced by family members, and how it influences family functioning before, and following addiction treatment will be discussed.  Finally, suggestions will be made regarding the use of somatic, body based therapies to assist families in promoting healing for themselves and their loved ones.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how family programming can interfere with treatment effectiveness and recovery outcomes.  
• Assess the many meanings of trauma and how the impact both the individual and family.
• Identify somatic/body based therapy and how it can assist patients and family members to alter behaviors and interrupt dysfunctional interactional patterns.
