Addiction and other behavioral health illnesses do not just affect the individual—they affect entire families. Therefore, it is essential that a client’s family has access to educational materials and support services. Pioneer emphasizes family involvement in all phases of the treatment process and we welcome the active participation of family members in treatment planning. Our staff members are trained to provide education and intervention that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and provides maximum collaboration and communication.

Pioneer offers programs for the families and significant others of all clients in treatment. Through our use of individual family sessions and involvement in groups, a client’s family members are educated on issues such as co-dependency, enabling, family disease, conflict resolution, and effective communications. Family members also are introduced to Al-Anon, Alateen, and other self-help groups that are designed to give all members the support they need.
