In an ideal world, the family unit operates like a well-oiled machine. If every component of the unit is functioning properly, then everything works as it should, and things continue to flow smoothly. However, when a part of this unit is off, everything may fall apart. When your teen is suffering from co-occurring mental health issues, past trauma, substance use issues, or any other problem, your entire family will feel the impact. This impact can result in trauma, grief, and disconnection.
However, participating in a family therapy program can help not only your child but your whole family get back on track. Including family therapy with the other teen therapy programs your loved one is participating in can give them their best chance at lasting recovery.

Family Therapy Program at Foothills at Red Oak Recovery®: How Does It Work?
Our family therapy program places a focus on the issues affecting a family as a whole. This type of therapy looks at the problems of an individual within the context of their family health and function to help everyone.
At Foothills at Red Oak Recovery®, one of our therapists will work with the family and the client to learn skills and techniques to improve the relationships throughout the family unit. A focus will also be on how members of the family may unintentionally contribute to the dysfunction in the family unit and how they can move forward by doing their own work while their loved one is in treatment. Along with family systems therapy, we also provide other therapies and treatments, including:
- Individual sessions
- Group sessions
- Continued education services
- Psychological testing
- Trauma treatment
- Substance abuse treatment
- Co-occurring issues
- Process addiction treatment
- Eating disorder treatment
Our services help families understand adolescent development, know how to support their child’s growth, and develop a personal skill set to thrive individually and in family relationships.
How Will Families Benefit?
Frequently, families will attempt to talk through these issues on their own. Unfortunately, these discussions do not always work well or create sustainable solutions. When emotions are running high, it can be hard to engage in productive conversations without getting upset or saying hurtful things to or about one another. Our teen family therapy program allows family members to work through these issues in a safe and productive format. The therapist functions as a mediator to help facilitate these conversations.
During sessions, families will learn about the issues their child is facing. Families will also practice properly regulating their emotions while still supporting their loved ones. Teens will learn how to listen to their families’ concerns while effectively communicating how they feel.
Ultimately, families will repair their relationships while working on a sustainable, long-term plan for the family system to thrive. Therapy provides every member with the tools and skills they need. Through a strategic family therapy program in combination with an addiction treatment program, family members will be able to engage in healthy relationships moving forward, even when things get difficult.
