Family Integration Program for Addiction Treatment

The family integration program at Stonegate Center, located in  Azle, Texas, offers a unique opportunity for clients and their family members to grow in a better understanding of themselves and how they function within the family system.  Our clinical team is dedicated to the belief that the disease of alcoholism is a family disease rather than an individual one. The family system did not cause the disease of alcoholism nor can they cure or control it.  However, family members can contribute to the disease of alcoholism either passively or actively by engaging in problem maintaining behaviors. In order to effect positive change within the family system, Stonegate Center offers our clients enrollment in our two-part intensive program.  This program has been developed and honed for years in order to best educate families and their loved ones about what the treatment process actually looks like.

Feelings Board

The Feelings Board includes the words: Pain, Shame, Fear, Guilt, Anger, Loneliness, and Joy.  To the right of each word is a spiritual gift that the individual receives when they process the feeling in a healthy way.  In most cases, our clients numb their emotional experience for years during their struggles use of drugs or alcohol.  Family members often redirect their own emotional experiences of fear and loneliness through measures of control.  At Stonegate Center, our fine-tuned family intensive causes loved ones to empathize with the struggles that each family member undergoes during divisive times brought on through addiction.  Under the supervision of our certified clinicians, each family unit is able to experience and express emotions in a safe, constructive place.
