Alcohol and other drugs are like dominos, they knock down the person who uses them, and that person knocks down everyone else around them. While alcohol and other drugs take an incredible toll on the abuser, they also take an incredible toll on the family. Whether you are a parent, partner, or a child, family members struggle with the phenomena of enabling the addict. The co-dependent strives to control the addicted person’s behavior, yet this enabling behavior only fuels the addiction and ultimately negatively impacts all involved. Claudia Black will help the viewer to lessen the denial around their own behavior and empower them in their own recovery, which ultimately can have a positive impact on the addict. As a professional you will find this video an important tool that will allow you, in one or two sessions, to focus on primary treatment issues with family members, individually or in groups.
