Family Matters

We know all too well the devastating effect addiction can have on the family and loved ones of the addict. We also know that quality recovery will include rebuilding these damaged relationships, many times from the ground up. Our family program aims to include and prioritize the participation of families and loved ones in the recovery journey.

What to expect

The first step in this process of repairing damaged relationships is consistent and informative communication between our staff and the loved ones of our guests. Guides at Discovery Place will not only check in weekly, but will provide real time updates and suggestions on the course of help needed. Our hope is for everyone to grow, not just the guest in our care. A guide may decide that phone calls aren’t enough and that face-to-face communication is a better alternative. They may invite a family member to campus for a one on one conversation, depending on the case. Our ultimate purpose would be to include and encourage everyone to get involved and focused on the big picture; a happier, healthier life of sobriety.

Family Groups and Visitation

Once per month Discovery Place hosts a Family Night. The second Friday of every month we invite you to our Main Campus location for visiting, family group, and fellowship with guests, staff and alumni. It is a fantastic opportunity to get information about how your loved one is doing, as well as a chance to meet other families going through similar circumstances. Learning that you are not alone is very powerful. Sometimes, just realizing that fact can change an attitude of hopelessness to hopefulness. Your loved one’s Discovery Place Guide will provide you with information on additional visitation opportunities that may be available.

FAQ's

Here are some common questions we get from addicts and their loved ones about getting clean and sober, how to pay for treatment, and what it’s like to come to Discovery Place.

You may be surprised by how much influence you actually have! Most of us came to Discovery Place because of decisions made by our loved ones. This is actually a big part of what we do. We were the fathers and sons in the same position as your fathers and sons. Call our drug rehab in Nashville and we will tell you about effective means of communication, emphasize expressions of love and concern, and answer any questions pertaining to your specific relationship.

If your loved one accepts the prospect of Discovery Place, it’s important to move quickly. We’ll help you with all the next steps. And if your loved one isn’t interested in accepting help, it’s a good time to consider the choices you can make to protect yourself and to prevent any actions that make a life of addiction comfortable and possible. It is also important to note that addiction interventions are often necessary to get individuals into treatment. 

It’s true, our programs have produced long-term sobriety for 83% of participants. But you probably think what you have going on, or the details of your specific circumstance, are a recipe for failure. We felt that way too. Every one of us. Our disease not only tells us we don’t have a disease, but that we’re also the only ones on earth dealing with what we’re dealing with. Trust us. We were there. We can help. You are not alone, and you don’t have to live as though you are any longer.

It’s true, the prospect of taking 30 days away from daily life can be daunting. However, alcoholism and addiction are progressive illnesses – meaning the symptoms and their consequences tend to grow in severity. Unfortunately, you can’t afford not to focus your undivided attention upon your recovery. The tools, fellowship, and internal shift found in our program will equip you for dealing with life in an entirely new way.

When we are using and drinking, no matter what we think is true, we’re much more of a burden on our families than a source of support. Our programs, ranging from 30 days to one year, are designed to create long-term sobriety because reliability of character is what your loved ones need most. When you return home from our drug rehab in Nashville, those seemingly overwhelming challenges from before will now be possible to move through.
