Also included are counselling sessions with our clinical director and intensive supervision to monitor your progress and help you with any obstacles. Alongside your treatment, we also offer family support. We know that support from your family is a major part of your recovery so we work with you and your loved ones to help you explain your addiction to them and to rebuild your relationships with them in a new way.
