The cost is $25 and you will recieve a book along with the class.  Recovery is a family undertaking, and so we like to help educate loved ones on the support clients need.

  • What do I need to know about families participating in counseling sessions?

    Our goal is not just a sober individual, but a healed family.  While your loved one has taken a courageous step toward freedom, we recognize that addiction is a challenge that affects the entire family unit.  To ensure your loved one has the strongest possible foundation for their new life, we require family participation as a core component of our ministry.  To support the residents progress and qualify for visitation privileges, family members must commit to the following:  (1) The Family Class and  (2) Counseling Sessions  - families are required to complete three counseling sessions.  The cost per session is $40.  They are designed to help you process your own journey and prepare for a healthy restored relationship with your loved one.  By participating in the family class and these counseling sessions, you are receiving your own "fresh wind".
