"Discover the Freedom of Being Well!"

Bellwood offers a variety of services to help family members address issues and behaviours that are destructive to both the addict and his or her family members, friends and co-workers.  Seminars, workshops and therapy sessions help families understand addicted behaviour, its impact on the family and how the family can be an active participant in the client’s recovery – and, more importantly, their own.

Family Program

Bellwood’s four-day Family Program helps families with the long-term recovery process.  Participants will gain a better understanding about the process of recovery through lectures, films and discussions with staff members.  They will have the opportunity to explore feelings and attitudes in a supportive setting under the direction of qualified counsellors.  This program is open to both families with or without a family member in treatment.

Family Continuing Recovery Program

Through our Family Continuing Recovery Program, we provide families and friends with the ongoing support and education they need during their own recovery.

Designed to complement the addicted client’s recovery program, the Family Continuing Recovery Program helps family members and close friends heal by giving them the opportunity to voice their feelings and concerns about their lives, and get support from people who are further along in their journey of recovery. Like all of our programs and services, the Family Continuing Recovery Program places great emphasis on individuals’ dignity and right to privacy.

Family Interventions

People with addictions often fail to seek help because they’re still denying they have a problem. But confronting the issue through a Family Intervention can help your loved one realize it truly is time to seek help. Bellwood can help you prepare for a successful intervention.

Our experienced, professional staff will prepare you, your family and friends for a successful family intervention through education and role-playing scenarios.  Our intervention training programs involve between two to four sessions, with each session lasting up to two hours. Family or friends who live out of town may be brought into the process via teleconference.

Family Counselling Services

Bellwood offers Counselling Services  for individuals, couples and families, at all stages of the recovery process. Through counselling, we teach our clients how to cope with the challenges of addiction, and provide them with the support they need as they progress through recovery.

INSITE

“Tired of waiting for someone else to change? Change starts with you."
Many people struggling with family issues related to addiction experience a sense of emptiness and loss.  Dysfunctional coping strategies are often adopted to keep the addiction a secret, to deny the behaviour exists or to make excuses for it.

Recognizing the importance of treating substance abuse as a family disease, EDGEWOOD urges family members to undertake their own path of recovery through INSITE.

INSITE is a personal growth program that challenges each participant to work openly and honestly toward a deeper understanding of him or herself.

INSITE is an intensive six-day therapeutic workshop that offers the opportunity to explore a full range of topics including:

• Co-dependency
• Boundary setting
• Relationships
• Emotional development
• Intimacy
• Spirituality
• Addictions
• Self-care

Who can participate in INSITE?

• Adults 19 years of age or older
• Anyone affected by someone with an addiction
• Those wishing to learn more about addictions
• Persons wanting to resolve co-dependency issues
• Anyone who wants to learn more about themselves

Family Education

The Family Education Program is offered to all friends and family members of our residential patients at no additional cost.  Family members will come to understand the nature of addictions and the recovery process. EDGEWOOD strongly encourages all patients’ family members and friends to attend as it is important that the entire family has the support of the staff during this time.

In addition, members of the community, as well as professionals, who are interested in learning more about addiction or who wish to learn more about EDGEWOOD, are also welcome to attend.

Youth Bounce Back Program
 - Specifically designed to help children ages 7-12!!

EDGEWOOD’s Bounce Back program provides a fun environment where children who are living with addiction in the family can explore and express their feelings freely. Through games, role-play, videos, art projects, songs and group discussions, children develop a sense of belonging, feel less isolated and learn to understand their experience and where to turn for help.

Edgewood offers ongoing 3 day, 6 session therapeutic programs starting July 16-18 & August 20-22, 2010 - continuing on a regular basis to fill each demand.

Drawing from the experience and wisdom of accomplished healers and faiths including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and others, Bhavna invites all in need regardless of faith or little or no faith to a beginning of new healthy disciplines and measures of successful and happy living.

At Top of the World Ranch Treatment Centre we understand the importance of the support that is given to our clients by their loved ones as a primary benefit to the client’s recovery upon returning home.  We also respect the need for each family member to establish their own understanding and support when addressing their own healing and facing new roles in the home.

With that, Top of the World Ranch Treatment Centre has recently implemented a very successful family support weekend. Evidence-based research shows that families who are impacted by the disease of addiction require support for themselves as well as the recovering dependent in order to best ensure a successful journey into new and healthy living.

Our weekend support program respects the diversity that occurs in families by providing appropriate education, recovery and cultural sensitivity and a display of non-judgemental care.

It makes a difference:

We strongly encourage all family members to take this opportunity to join us for a warm and welcoming family weekend.  We look forward to providing you the tools that will support you as you heal emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically within your family unit.  Our hope is to bring each person greater empathy and understanding to this most challenging disease, addiction.

The Good News:

The feedback we have received thus far from family members that have participated has been outstanding.  It does make a difference!

It’s also a gift:

There is no additional fee for family members to participate in our Family Support Weekends!

We will look forward to seeing you and we know that this will be a moving and beneficial experience for you.
