How do I schedule a family therapy session at Riverside Recovery?

Families schedule a family therapy session with Family Therapist Chloe Andersson through her online calendar, by phone at (813) 296-8310 or by email at family@rrtampa.com. The first family session takes place about 2 weeks after admission and lasts 50 minutes. Your loved one signs a release of information (ROI) before joint sessions begin, and without an ROI, family members still meet with a therapist on their own.

How can I help a family member with a substance use disorder?

Help a family member with a substance use disorder by learning how the disorder changes behavior, setting limits you keep, refusing to cover consequences and getting your own support through Al-Anon, Nar-Anon or CRAFT. Once your loved one agrees to treatment, the Riverside Recovery admissions team at (800) 871-5440 explains the levels of care in Tampa, from medical detox and residential treatment to Day/Night Treatment and outpatient care.

What is codependency in addiction?

Codependency in addiction is a relationship pattern in which a family member's mood, self-worth and daily choices center on managing or protecting the person with a substance use disorder. Codependent behaviors include covering consequences and putting the other person's needs above your own at a high personal cost. Codependency feels like love but works against recovery, and Family Weekend at Riverside Recovery covers codependency and boundaries directly.
