Encouraging Family Participation
At Starlite, family members of loved ones in treatment have the unique opportunity to attend a 2-day family program, which includes a combination of education, family and multi-family group process, and skill-building.
To provide the best opportunity for change, we strongly encourage family members and/or significant others participate in this unique rehab program.
