The Investment Value of Family Support

Research shows that loved ones play a pivotal role in improving treatment outcomes by enhancing engagement, reducing substance use, increasing rates of abstinence, and decreasing incidents of arrests and hospitalizations.

Investing in a comprehensive family support program benefits individuals in your care and yields substantial business advantages for your organization. Here’s how:

  • Prevent Return to Use: Family support and involvement can play a crucial role in preventing relapse and promoting continued progress in mental health treatment. Educating families on effectively supporting their loved ones can improve coping mechanisms and crisis management strategies.
  • Lower Healthcare Costs: Family-based approaches typically involve fewer treatment sessions per episode of care, resulting in lower overall costs while enhancing intervention efficacy.*
  • Boost Treatment Adherence: When families are actively involved, individuals are more likely to adhere to treatment plans, ensuring better compliance and engagement.
    Enhance Retention Rates: A supportive family network promotes accountability and motivation, resulting in higher retention rates and reduced dropout rates during treatment.
  • Improve Patient Outcomes: Evidence indicates that patients with strong family support achieve better outcomes, contributing to your organization’s reputation for high-quality care.
  • Increase Funding and Sustainability: Demonstrating the positive impact of family-focused care can help secure funding and support for their programs and services.
  • Increase Referrals and Donations: Satisfied families become advocates for your services, leading to increased referrals and donations from clients’ families and support networks.
Substance use disorders and addiction don’t just affect the person using the substances. There’s a great deal of collateral damage to everyone around them.
