That’s why at Simonds Recovery Centers in Los Angeles, we offer a comprehensive Family Program designed to help families heal together. We understand that addiction can cause strain on relationships, and our family-centered approach involves counseling, education, and support sessions that help loved ones better understand addiction and learn how to offer the right support.

It’s designed to help the entire family grow, heal, and move forward together, rebuilding trust and relationships that may have been damaged by addiction.
At Simonds, we believe that family involvement is critical to successful long-term recovery. By creating a supportive environment at home, family members can help their loved ones sustain their sobriety and continue their recovery journey.
