To the families experiencing the damaging chaos, suffering, neglect and isolation accompanying trauma, addiction and mental illness, Santé Center for Healing says "no more shame, no more silence, and you are not alone."
Families and friends can contribute to their loved one’s belief that recovery is possible because of and after residential treatment; outcomes improve when the family and community of friends are active in the recovery process. To the best of their ability, families and friends can support anything that leads to their loved one’s hope, health, healing and recovery while holding boundaries for anything contrary to those goals.
Why Family Programming?
Addiction impacts everyone in the family unit. Santé truly believes that the family plays in integral part of addiction treatment. Santé’s Family Programming has three main aspects.
- The first is a Family and Friends Support Group (virtual and on campus) offered three times/week in a format facilitating both education and peer support.
- The second is a more intimate, three-part Family Therapy Series limited to each family with a loved one in their first 30 days of Santé’s residential treatment.
- The most personalized family session format is a two-day family intensive customized to the patient and their family; this safe therapeutic environment prepares and guides crucial conversations and family healing.
All family programming experiences stress the important of self-care and supporting oneself while a loved one is in treatment as well as strengthening emotional bonds and communication within the family.

Step 7
“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
Many of us have come to believe that being successful means being strong, independent individuals who are profoundly self-reliant. This type of thinking can lead to shame or guilt when we need to ask for help or to admit to shortcomings. An unintended consequence of this can be a barrier to self-growth. How can we overcome this barrier? Humility.
If we can use the same inward strength and humility during the process of Step 7 that was used to admit to being “powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable (Step 1),” we will be able to face any shortcoming and problem that arises. “If that degree of humility could enable us to find the grace by which such a deadly obsession could be banished, then there must be hope of the same result respecting any other problem we could possibly have.”¹ We must be humble within ourselves and know when to seek help, in our recovery, responsibilities, and relationships. When asking a Higher Power to remove our shortcomings, we begin to let go and accept the flaws as small facts and not the totality of who we are. It is important to recognize and remove our shortcomings to continue to become the best individual we can be.
Humility is an equal opportunity, one we can all practice, whether in recovery and working the 12 Steps or not.

You are mission-inspired and results-driven. You chose your profession and calling for all the right reasons. Your work helps people in their most hidden and painful problems every day.
The importance of your work is underscored by how incredibly hard it is. Any given day might bring massive challenges with your clients or patients. Who else is in it for all the right reasons? Who can you trust to work alongside you, providing evidence-based and trauma-resolution care? Who provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery?
Google provides 350,000,000 results when searching “addiction treatment.” This is an overwhelming number of options that you can ascertain for quality, but can your clients or patients?
They look to you to:
- Distinguish clinical experience and expertise from nonessential amenities and impersonal call centers;
- Connect them to higher levels of care ready for the increasing complexity of their problems and to discover and begin to heal from the root issues underneath, therefore decreasing the likelihood of relapse;
- Recognize other facilities may dress the part but lack integrity.
They look to you. And you look to Santé Center for Healing for expertise, integrity and long-term recovery…for all the right reasons.
