At The Meadows treatment centers in Arizona, patients discover that much of their current dysfunctional behavior stems from what they encountered earlier in life. A vital part of the therapeutic process is helping patients learn that such traumatic experiences have affected them deeply, oftentimes more deeply than they realize. When they are able to come to terms with that fact, patients are able to view their addictive behaviors and dependency issues in a more meaningful light.
As part of this transformation, we at The Meadows believe that the family should play a major role in resolving the afflicted individual’s traumatic experiences. For five days of our five-week inpatient treatment program, members of the client’s family — and, where applicable, significant others — are invited to actively participate in the patient’s recovery process. .

During this time, both patient and family come to understand more about the challenges that have affected their family relationships. They also learn better skills of communication, emotional support, and appropriate boundaries, all of which create healing and increase family unity. Oftentimes various family members have been impacted by the patient’s past behavior, and these family members also need a chance to heal and to learn to trust again. The involvement of the family and loved ones in this treatment process has been shown by research to be a significant factor in achieving long-term healing and recovery. For someone who has battled self-defeating and self-destructive behaviors, gaining the support of family members — especially in learning to speak and support the language of recovery — is a crucial goal of the Family Week experience. The Meadows’ world-renowned experts have been teaching for decades how the family is impacted by an addict’s behavior. Whether our patients suffer from the effects of trauma, addiction, or mental disorders, our safe, comfortable, and dynamic process can bring healing to the entire family. |

Thirty-five years ago an idea was born—an idea to transform the way addictions were treated—an idea to create a revolutionary new therapeutic model that incorporated trauma resolution, 12-step traditions and the holistic healing of mind, body and spirit. That idea took shape as a small alcohol treatment facility for only seven patients, but quickly grew into what it is today—America’s premier center for the treatment of addiction and trauma with over 18,000 patients from around the world. Over the years, The Meadows has had an enormous impact on mental health industry, training thousands of therapists and treatment providers on the Meadows Model—widely accepted as one of the most advanced and effective methods of treating addiction and trauma. On this, our 35th anniversary year, The Meadows wishes to take time out to salute all the talented and dedicated people who helped make that idea a reality.
