C.A.R.E. Florida Launches Family Weekends to Help on That Long Road to Recovery

Just because an addict finished a drug rehab program does not mean they have recovered. Too often patients do not complete their recovery and return to addiction and abuse soon after. However, this begs the question: "Who is enabling the patient?" Usually it's their family and loved ones. C.A.R.E. FLORIDA has taken steps to counterattack these situations by offering family weekends four times a year for both patients that have completed treatment and those currently in treatment. The goal? Educate families on the difference between loving an addict and enabling them on the long road to recovery. (PRWeb Nov 18, 2008)
