To address families in recovery, CARS offers a six week program called the Family Rebuilding Program. Anyone who has a family member, significant other, or friend who is struggling with the disease of addiction is invited to join the program for support and education. This program is free, open to the public, and participants do not need to be a client of CARS.
The group meets Tuesday evenings 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for six weeks. The meetings are open-ended, repeating every six weeks. Participants can enter the sessions on any week as the program is continuous.
Clinical Intervention Services are offered based on the best practice Love First Clinical Intervention Model (www.lovefirst.net). This model of intervention which has been designated by Hazelden as a best practice and is defined by one rule: to persuade an individual suffering from addiction to enter treatment while preserving their dignity and worth as a human being. CARS trains and supports the family and other significant people in the addicted individual's life to lovingly and effectively persuade that individual to enter treatment.
