Family Therapy in Substance Abuse Treatment
Chapter 9
Chapter 9 will examine the role and impact that the family has upon substance abuse behavior. Here you will see the importance of the role that the family has upon the success and failure of substance-abuse treatment. In some ways the family can be both helpful and detrimental to recovery.
