When your loved one is trapped in the cycle of substance abuse, it puts a heavy strain on your relationship. What can you do when all you want is to see them thriving in life? It is time to show them there is hope in recovery. Our Promises Brazos Valley rehab center in College Station, TX, can help your loved one find their most authentic life without substances.
What You Can Expect When Seeking Addiction Treatment for a Loved One
The idea of sending someone you love to treatment can be nerve-racking. You do not have to do this alone. Our team of experienced recovery specialists walks beside families from the first call. You can rest easy knowing that your family is our family, and we have designed a modernized treatment center that offers comforts of home. We keep our environment peaceful and relaxed to promote safe spaces to heal.
At Promises Brazos Valley, your loved one receives an individualized treatment plan that addresses substance use and mental health together. Care may include individual therapy, group counseling, family sessions, skill building, and relapse prevention planning. While every person is different, core goals often include improving coping skills, learning healthy boundaries, and rebuilding trust at home. You can expect clear communication, compassionate updates, and opportunities to participate in family education so you understand how to support recovery during and after rehab.
They Need You in Their Recovery Process
Whether you are a friend or a family member, you are essential to your loved one’s recovery. Staying engaged can increase motivation to seek treatment, reduce shame, and support lasting recovery. If your relationship has been strained by substance use, our family programming helps rebuild trust through education, guided conversations, and practice using new communication skills.
How to Talk about Treatment and Encourage the First Step
If you think your loved one might have an alcohol use disorder or another substance use disorder, choose a calm time to talk. Keep the focus on safety and well being, not on blame. Use specific observations that concern you, for example: missing work, drinking in the morning, or mixing alcohol with other drugs. Share how these behaviors affect you and the family. Then offer a clear next step: let’s call Promises Brazos Valley together to discuss treatment options.
Tips for a productive conversation:
- Plan a few key points in advance, and rehearse with a supportive friend.
- Use “I” statements, which describe your experience and reduce defensiveness.
- Ask open questions, and listen more than you speak.
- Suggest choices, such as, should we tour a program or talk with an admissions specialist first?
- If they are willing to enter treatment, act promptly. If they hesitate, continue to seek support for yourself and keep the door open.
In medical and counseling literature, the word “intervention” can mean any structured step that moves someone toward care, from a quiet conversation to a formal meeting with a clinician. Many families find that small, consistent interventions work better than one dramatic event.
Evidence-Based Care at Promises Brazos Valley
We provide a variety of evidence-based treatment programs and therapies because people struggling with addiction deserve care tailored to their needs. Your loved one receives a unique plan that may include therapies for co-occurring mental health conditions, recovery skills practice, and planning for long term recovery.

Mental Health Considerations in Addiction Services
Alcohol use disorder and drug addiction often co-occur with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Treatment centers that address both substance and mental health together can improve engagement. We offer dual diagnosis mental health care during treatment and coordinate safe transitions after rehab. This continuity supports lasting recovery and reduces the risk of return to alcohol or drug use.
Community Resources and Support Groups for Family Members
Support groups like Al‑Anon and peer communities can reduce isolation for family members of those in recovery. These groups offer real stories, practical scripts, and reminders to focus on what you can control. They complement, rather than replacing, professional support.
Mutual help is one part of a broader plan that can include therapy for loved ones, stress management, and self care routines. When families seek support for themselves, they often feel steadier, which makes it easier to encourage care and follow through on boundaries. Research published in the American Journal of Psychiatry and other journals has examined family involvement in care and found that engaged families can support change without controlling the process.
How We Support Families at Every Step
From the first phone call through aftercare, we help families navigate decisions with clarity. We explain options, coordinate insurance, and help you make a clear plan. During treatment, we schedule family education, offer support services, and provide updates with consent. Before discharge, we map out aftercare, support groups, and ways to maintain momentum at home. Our goal is long term recovery for your loved one and improved quality of life for the entire family.
