The Family Workshop is an intensive, four-day program designed to educate family members about the disease of alcoholism/addiction and the recovery process. The Family Workshop teaches family members about current medical information on the biological and genetic components of the disease of alcoholism/addiction and the impact the disease has on the family system. Participants are given basic tools to improve communication in the family, set boundaries, identify high risk behaviors and relapse warning signs and discuss possible aftercare plans. Family Workshop participants attend process groups, which provide a supportive environment to discuss the impact of addiction on the family and to begin to learn skills for family recovery. The program also includes a Family/Couples session with your family counselor.

The Workshop is an intensive four (4) day program. Registration begins on Monday at 8:30 a.m. We understand that while at Talbott you would like to visit with your spouse, family member or significant other. However, we ask that you respect and support the patient's need to attend each of his/her daily groups. Patients are permitted to have lunch and dinner with their families. We have included specified times each day for visitation. Below you will find a sample workshop schedule.

TRC Family workshops are held once a month. The dates below have been provide for your convenience, however, the exact date that each patient's family will be invited to attend a workshop will be determined by the patient's family counselor. These decisions are based on the therapeutic circumstances of each individual patient and family.
Please contact your family counselor "before making ANY arrangements" to attend a family workshop on a specific date.
