Family-Centered Support Services for Addiction
To find which family-focused support service is right for you, call 1.888.CARE.898 (227.3898).
Addiction affects the whole family. Support does, too.
When someone you love is struggling with addiction or substance use, it can feel overwhelming. Many families carry worry, frustration, guilt or exhaustion while trying to help their loved one recover.
At Main Line Health's Mirmont Treatment Center, we believe families deserve support, too. For more than 40 years, we've helped individuals and their loved ones navigate addiction and recovery with compassionate, judgment free care.
We provide two independent but complementary family-centered support programs: a short-term Acceptance in Motion (AIM) outpatient group therapy and an ongoing Virtual Family Support Group. Family members and caregivers may explore one or both options, and our team will help you navigate next steps and find the best fit for your needs.
Our family-focused recovery support services are designed to help families and caregivers:
- Better understand addiction and its impact on the family
- Learn how to navigate a loved one's recovery
- Care for their own emotional and physical wellbeing
- Connect with others who truly understand what they're going through
Therapy for adults affected by a loved one’s addiction
Acceptance in Motion (AIM) is a structured, six-week outpatient group therapy program (OP) dedicated to adults who have been impacted by a loved one's addiction. If caring for your family member through their substance use has taken a toll on your mental health, AIM is here to help by focusing on you and your needs.
Through therapist guided discussion, education and group support, participants in the AIM cohorts can:
- Improve their understanding of addiction and its impact on themselves and other members of their family
- Find peer support throughout the recovery journey
- Develop healthy coping strategies and communication skills
- Strengthen personal boundaries
- Focus on their own healing and wellbeing
Location: Mirmont Outpatient Center - Broomall
When: Evening sessions designed to fit the schedules of busy families
