Family Involvement Workshop

Your support improves treatment success

Research shows a higher rate of success for treatment clients who have family members actively involved in their treatment. We are committed to equipping you to be the support network your loved one needs you to be.

We offer regular workshops, providing education, tools and support for friends and family members of Bryan Independence Center clients.
