Family counseling is an integral part in the Recovery/well-being of the patient. The counselor needs to corroborate the version of addiction history shared by the patient and who better than the first hand experience of the family.
Far from being a collection of individuals, a family is an organized whole--a system. However, like any system or structure, it is prone to breakdowns. The toll of addiction of a family member on everyone is immense and in different ways.
The counselor assimilates the situation to guide everyone about the do's and don'ts. From the family we get to know of any dysfunction and root cause of the reason of addiction and possible measures to help the client, collectively. Counseling starts with the closest person of the patient so that we can understand every single detail, past as well as present, in different perspectives.
In this way we analyze the severity of the disorder and the root cause of the problem. Saino Foundation emphasises on every minor details of each patient that helps them to recover sooner.
