For Families & Spouses

For the one who’s been
holding it all together.

If you’re here, you’ve probably been carrying this longer than anyone knows — the worry, the covering, the 2am listening for the door. You are not overreacting. And you don’t have to figure this out alone.

First, this

What you’re feeling is normal.

Sad, scared, angry — usually some complicated mix of all three, sometimes in the same hour. Loving a man in active addiction means suffering alongside him. Our job isn’t just to help him heal; it’s to help you both. Family counseling is part of our program, not an afterthought.

The conversation

How to talk to him about getting help

We take a supportive approach to intervention — rooted in love, not confrontation — because it works better. A few things that help:

Pick a calm, sober moment

Not mid-argument, not while he’s using. A quiet morning beats a heated night every time.

Lead with what you see and what you love

“I’m scared because I love you” opens doors that blame closes. You’re not accusing him — you’re refusing to lose him.

Have the next step ready

The moment he says “okay” is fragile. That’s where we come in: call us before the conversation, and we’ll have everything staged — so “okay” can become action the same day.

Not sure how it will go? Call us first — our admissions team helps families plan these conversations every week, and if a more structured intervention is needed, we’ll guide you through that too.

The logistics

You handle the love. We’ll handle the paperwork.

What we take off your plate

  • Free, confidential insurance verification — before any decision
  • FMLA and leave-of-absence paperwork with his employer
  • Disability claims and insurance questions, handled by his case manager
  • A clear what-to-bring list so day one is simple

What his days will look like

  • A real home — six men, private rooms, chef-prepared meals
  • Clinically managed detox with 24-hour on-call medical support
  • Structured days of therapy and groups, 12-step meetings nightly
  • A typical 30-day stay, adjusted by clinical need — not a package
Your questions

What spouses and parents ask us

Can I call for him?+
Yes. Many first calls come from a wife, mother, or brother. We’ll talk through his situation, check insurance, and help you plan — whether he’s ready today or not yet.
What if he refuses to go?+
Don’t give up — refusal today is rarely the final answer. We’ll help you plan a supportive intervention rooted in love, and we’ll be ready the moment he says yes. In the meantime, protecting your own wellbeing matters too.
Will I be part of his treatment?+
Family counseling is part of our program. Healing the family system — trust, communication, boundaries — is part of how recovery lasts.
How much will this cost us?+
Most major insurance plans cover our program, and the free benefits check tells you exactly what yours covers before you commit to anything. We are not able to accept Medi-Cal, Medicaid, or Medicare at this time.
What do I tell his job?+
Often nothing yet — his case manager will handle FMLA and leave-of-absence paperwork directly, which protects his position and his privacy.
You’ve carried it far enough

Let us carry it with you.

Call and tell us what’s going on. No judgment, no obligation — just a plan.
