Family Involvement at Prescott House
At Prescott House, we recognize the significant role that family plays in the recovery journey of our clients. Our approach to family involvement is tailored to support both the client and their loved ones while respecting privacy and promoting beneficial treatment outcomes.
Objectives
The main objectives of our family involvement approach are:

- To provide families with insight into the nature of addiction and recovery.
- To facilitate healing and renewal of family relationships affected by addiction.

Structure of Family Involvement
Regular Communication

- Our approach ensures a balance between family support and client confidentiality.
Family Involvement Specialist
- We have a dedicated Family Involvement Specialist on staff who prepares both the family and the client for family sessions.
Family Session
- Typically occurs in the third month of treatment.
- We offer these sessions for clients in our 90-day program, though they may not always be available for shorter treatment durations.
- Sessions usually take place on a Friday and last 2 to 4 hours.
- These sessions provide a structured environment for families to reconnect and address important aspects of recovery and relationships.
Weekend Visits
- Following the family session, clients often have the opportunity for a weekend visit with their family.
- Families are encouraged to explore beautiful locations around Arizona, such as Sedona or the Grand Canyon.
- These outings provide a chance to practice newly learned communication skills and begin rebuilding relationships in a positive, natural setting.
