Rebuilding Trust, Communication & Connection Amid Substance Use Struggles
When One Person Struggles with Addiction, the Whole Family Feels It
Substance use doesn’t happen in isolation. It affects routines, relationships, emotions, and safety — often leaving families feeling exhausted, shut out, or completely overwhelmed. Whether it’s your spouse, your teen, or another loved one, you may be asking:
- How do I help without enabling?
- How do I talk to them when nothing seems to get through?
- How do we rebuild trust after everything that’s happened?
At Neubauer Mental Health Services (NMHS), we offer Family & Couples Counseling for Addiction to support the emotional, relational, and structural healing needed when substance use disrupts home life. You don’t have to fix this alone — and you shouldn’t have to.
Who This Is For
This service is for families or couples dealing with:
- Active alcohol or drug dependence in a loved one
- Recovery and relapse cycles
- Breakdown in communication, trust, or co-parenting
- Emotional burnout, fear, or resentment
- A desire to understand addiction and respond more effectively
You don’t have to wait until the person using is “ready” to get support. Sometimes, helping yourself first is what opens the door for change.
What Family & Couples Counseling Includes
We create a safe, neutral space for honest conversations — and support each participant’s perspective without assigning blame.
Sessions may include:
Education on addiction as a behavioral and mental health issue
Communication tools to reduce conflict and increase clarity
Strategies for setting healthy, consistent boundaries
Repairing trust and addressing unresolved pain
Supporting your loved one’s recovery without losing yourself in the process
Navigating co-parenting or caregiving roles
Developing a shared vision of recovery and accountability
Support That Includes Everyone — Not Just the Identified Client
In many treatment settings, the focus stays only on the person with the addiction. At NMHS, we believe lasting recovery depends on the strength of the support system — and that includes your healing, too.
How We Work With Families
Every family is unique. We tailor our counseling approach based on:
- Family structure (parents, couples, teens, siblings, caregivers)
- Stage of substance use or recovery
- Willingness and readiness of each participant
- Co-occurring mental health or behavioral challenges
- Cultural, relational, or language needs
Begin with Confidence. Continue with Support. Heal with Purpose.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or a loved one, Neubauer Mental Health Services is here to provide compassionate, clinically sound care grounded in best practices and measurable outcomes.
