Support for Families of Addicts
Posted April 24, 2012 by Rockers In Recovery in Rockers In Recovery Concerts, Addiction and Recovery, Education, Family & Home, Health


When someone in a family has an addiction, the whole family suffers. Family members often fall into the destructive habit of enabling the addict among them. Without help, families fall into dysfunction and everyone is affected. Family members need support too.

Embarrassed by Having a Family Member with an Addiction

When parents, siblings, or children of addicts realize that their loved one has a problem, they can have a wide range of reactions. The most common thought at first is “What will others think?”. In our society, we are so proud that we don’t ever want to admit mistakes or problems that come into our lives, and we constantly want to maintain the status quo. There is such a stigma associated with addiction right now that family members often don’t want to tell anyone for fear that they will be looked down upon.

Enabling the Addict

Because family members are afraid to be honest and tell their family’s secret, they often try to manage the situation on their own. Spouses will start picking up the slack left behind by a substance-abusing partner, and assume all responsibilities of running the house and caring for the kids. Children of addicts become good at making excuses for their parent and making their life seem as normal as possible from the outside. Parents will argue and fight with their drug-abusing child behind closed doors, but will put on a good front when others are around.

When families enable an addict, they only make the problem worse. Addiction can be overcome, but it takes a good program led by professionals to really work. The first thing families should do is find a good treatment facility for their loved one. Then, families should make sure to heal themselves also.

Healing the Family

Living with an addict is a struggle, and families don’t have to go through it alone, as so many try to do. “It isn’t that (family members) are dumb,” intervention expert David Lee said. “They’re stuck. They’re trapped between fear, hope, sympathy and guilt.” (1)

There are many programs that help families recover together through therapy and counseling and help them deal with their underlying issues. In order for the addict to heal, their family needs to heal and the relationship needs to be repaired.

Support groups are a great way for family members to meet and gain strength from other families who understand the struggles, the fear, the pain, and the embarrassment of living with an addict. Groups like Al-Anon and Alateen can be found gathering across the country to assist families of addicts. Family members should not give in and enable their loved ones to continue in their addiction; they need to break the cycle and get help for themselves and their entire family.

Resource for Families of Addicts

Treatment Solutions is unlike any other approach to addiction recovery. Through our relationships with the nation’s premier treatment facilities and addiction professionals across the country, we make the arrangements and handle the details so our clients can focus on one thing – their recovery.

Green Sets the Scene

Green Sets the Scene



We are all looking for a way to find environmentally friendly alternatives to everyday life. When it comes to your home there should be no difference. This particular post will be focused on efficient heaters and cooling units. This is something we can all relate to because we either live where it’s hot or its cold. If you have a sophisticated heating and cooling system in your basement or anywhere in your home, chances are you are spending way too much on energy bills and that unit is nothing close to “green”.

Most units made before the year 2005 use to much energy than it needs to. Let’s talk about a few new models that will save you money in the long run and keep our mother earth around a little longer. Brands like Amana and Energy Star focus on saving energy with their products.

Saving Money

Other companies have jumped on the ban wagon as well and all you have to do is shop around. Not to mention, these “green” additions or alterations to your home will save you tons of money on your bills. Using less energy means a significantly lower bill, who doesn’t like the sound of saving money?

Now, if you live in a state such as New York or New Jersey where some homes do not come with central AC, there are individual units that fit the bill as well. For apartment dwellers a good “green” tip is to set your AC or Heat to automatic and leave it around 75 degrees F in the summer and 68 degrees F in the winter.

More “green” coming soon

Believe it or not, and automatic setting uses less energy in most cases because if you leave you AC off all day, to cool your home back down will take twice as much energy than to have it cool once it reaches a baseline line temperature throughout he home. More “green” coming soon.

Treatment Solutions Network
Posted September 24, 2011 by Rockers In Recovery in Education, Family & Home, Health, Entertainment, Business, Music, Addiction and Recovery

Treatment Solutions Network is unlike any other approach to addiction recovery. Through our relationships with the nation's premier treatment facilities and addiction professionals across the country, we make the arrangements and handle the details so our clients can focus on one thing: their recovery.

Treatment Solutions Network has the advantage of not being tied to a specific facility, we only accept facilities within our network which meet our above industry standards; offer effective long term community based addiction treatment and have flexible payment options from low cost self pay to a wide variety of insurance plans.

We have a large selection of independent addiction treatment facilities. This has distinct advantages:
Our unique relationships allow us to offer faster admissions, privacy guarantees and payment options not found elsewhere.

We have our own standards of success. To be part of our network, facilities must operate above industry standards. All facilities accepted within our network must offer the highest levels of care available and offer a minimum 30 day treatment program for those who need it.

We provide client advocates who will be in constant contact with the person in treatment and act as liaisons between the family, the facility and the client, if desired. Because we recognize the impact addiction has on the entire family, we place special emphasis on family involvement throughout the treatment process.

Rapid Response. Our unique approach allows our clients to be presented with a plan outlining treatment option(s) quickly by answering a few questions. Once a decision on a facility is made, reservations and travel arrangements are made immediately. This saves additional stress and delay in a time when you or your family member needs immediate action.
This approach coupled with our highly knowledgable treatment consultants and call center representatives allows us to truly work with you. We take your treatment needs, your financial capabilities and your recovery goals and build a personalized plan. We are here to offer viable solutions during this difficult time. Best of all we offer these services at no cost to our clients.

Our network approach takes the pressure off busy addiction professionals, assuring them that their patients will be well cared for throughout their course of treatment.

Because we recognize the impact addiction has on the entire family, we place special emphasis on family involvement throughout treatment. Treatment Solutions Network also offers specialized adolescent addiction treatment.

If you would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to give us a call, any time day or night, or fill out our confidential help form.

Our Mission
The Mission of Treatment Solutions Network is to provide every individual we come in contact with the opportunity to achieve a better way of life through recovery. If the individual is seeking treatment for a substance abuse or a dual diagnosis problem, our goal is to find services which match their needs and can realistically be obtained with their resources. We will strive to educate all who are involved as to how the individual can best be treated. Our primary purpose is to find help for anyone who comes to us. http://www.treatmentsolutionsnetwork.com/?=cpao=304
