Natural State Recovery Centers employs an amazing team of licensed mental health therapists and staff. All clients receive individual and group therapy.

Family & Loved Ones

Yes, mail is collected and delivered Monday–Saturday. Telephone calls are allowed during designated times.

Important: All clients experience a mandatory 10-day blackout period beginning at admission. During this time, clients may receive mail but not phone calls. This allows clients to settle into treatment and build their recovery foundation.

The Family Program at NSRC consists of a suite of services addressing the needs and identified goals of family members and loved ones impacted, directly or indirectly, by the substance use and associated issues of another person.

Family systems are extremely resilient, and with proper support and therapy, families do find happiness and balance. Families that enter their own therapeutic process learn effective ways to manage stress and crisis, and dramatically improve the chances of their loved one achieving long-term recovery.

Elements of the family program:

  • Family counseling referrals
  • Skills training/coaching
  • Community support groups (Al-Anon)
  • Education
