People struggling with addictions don’t suffer alone as those around them are deeply affected. Only a fraction of adults with addictions seek treatment and fewer are successful in achieving relapse prevention. The Couples Institute of Santa Barbara uses a research based approach to treat substance abuse and relationship problems conjointly giving the couple a much more likelihood of success.
At the Couples Institute of Santa Barbara, our Gottman Method trained therapists utilize successful techniques to help both partners recognize and address their roles in the family system. In Addiction Recovery sessions, the couple will discuss each of their own mental health states and emotions creating a comfortable and safe environment. By breaking through denial, the couple can now work together to create a strong recovery foundation. By working together toward sobriety and improving their relationship, the couple will ultimately strengthen their bond and help each other heal the wounds addiction may have caused.
