Family Program

The Family Program is a three-day intensive program designed to bring together and treat both individuals and their families, partners and loved ones.

About
the Program

At South Pacific Private we believe in treating clients within the context of their family system. Some families are biologically related (family of origin) and some are not (partner or family of creation), but generally speaking families share, or once shared, strong emotional bonds.

The three-day Family Program is the cornerstone of treatment at South Pacific Private, where profound and lasting healing takes place. It was the positive experience of Family Program at The Meadows Treatment Centre in Arizona that inspired the founders of South Pacific Private (the Wood family) to open South Pacific Private in 1993

Trauma, addiction and mental health conditions can significantly affect the family unit whether the condition is inherited, or whether it is happening in the here and now. Our relationship to our family system is complex and in order to heal it’s important to unravel the elements that do not serve us without laying blame or causing further damage.

The program offers a deeper understanding of addiction and mental illness and the impact on families. It aims to increase compassion and respite and help family members support their loved-one after treatment, giving every client the best possible chance of recovery.
