Whole Family Recovery

This document provides an overview of themes that emerged from the Adfam’s Whole Family Recovery and Alcohol Focus Groups and interviews. This research was conducted to scope the impacts of the recovery of someone with an alcohol problem on the family members involved – and how having a loved one ‘in recovery’ is often a complex and mixed experience. Recovery for family members emerged from the research as a multi-faceted and personal journey which created unique issues and barriers for each person. Family members considered both the impact of their loved one’s drinking and recovery journey.
