Research shows that when one or more partners is abusing alcohol or drugs, suffers from compulsive gambling problems or any other addictions, it likely affects and wreaks havoc in the relationship. However, in order for the couple as a whole to benefit from counseling, the person with the addiction must first seek help for his/her addiction.
At New Jersey Centers for Counseling, we offer families and couples therapy as part of the addiction treatment process. To ensure that our clients are given the support and guidance they need in order to take the first vital step towards a clean and sober lifestyle, we encourage therapy with the entire family system. Counseling is done in an environment where every family member feels comfortable about expressing his/her feelings and thoughts.
