The Family Recovery Guide

This guide is for the family members of someone trying to overcome an addiction. The book teaches how to sustain supportive relationships with the recovering addict without undermining the focus and determination he or she needs to beat addiction and build a healthy life.
Written by two specialists and based on the latest research, this book teaches family members how to sustain their relationships during a loved one's recovery from addiction and offers families specific tasks for each stage of recovery, helpful progress charts, and practical exercises.
