Couples Rehab For Residents of Santa Monica CA

When you find yourself struggling with a drug dependency or suffering from substance use disorder, it is easy to feel like you are all alone. Yet in all too many cases, substance abuse is truly a family affair, afflicting the addict, their spouse, and even their friends and family members.

There is a reason that substance abuse is often referred to as a family illness – when one member of the family is struggling with addiction, every member of the family suffers, and that is literally true when your spouse is also an addict. It is quite common for both spouses to be addicted at the same time, so it is surprising that so few rehab centers offer facilities where those who love each other can heal together and work toward a shared recovery.

At Muse Treatment Center, we recognize the importance of keeping spouses together as they recover and heal from the ravages of substance use disorder. We also realize that those suffering from addiction are often reluctant to get the help they need if it means leaving their similarly addicted spouse behind.

That is why we offer special accommodations for couples, spacious places where husbands and wives can work together, learn together and heal together. Whether you and your spouse are suffering from the same addiction or dependent on totally different substances, we can give you the tools you need to overcome your addictions together, so you can grow stronger, wiser and healthier as a couple.

Leaving a spouse behind is difficult in the best of times, but when addiction and drug dependency is the root cause of the separation the consequences can be truly devastating. The spouse entering rehab may feel enormous guilt at leaving their spouse behind in a potentially dangerous situation, and the worry they feel as a result will negatively impact their recovery and reduce the chances of a successful rehab experience.

That is why we do not believe it is necessary, or even smart, to separate spouses in recovery. If you are brave enough to seek help for your drug addiction, you are brave enough to bring your spouse along, and we encourage you to do just that.

In fact, we feel that there are many important benefits to be gained by making substance use disorder recovery a family affair. Recovering from drug addiction with your spouse can provide a vast array of advantages, including:

•       You will have someone to lean on as you go through the more difficult stages of your recovery. Getting off drugs and staying sober can be difficult, especially when you lack the support of the spouse you have always been able to rely on. Having your spouse by your side can give you the strength you need during this very difficult time.
•       You will not have to worry about your spouse’s well being. When one spouse is addicted, both spouses suffer, but things are even worse when both spouses suffer from substance use disorder. Not knowing what is happening to the spouse left behind can make treatment efforts less effective, but healing together can enhance the effectiveness of the rehab process.
•       You can focus on your recovery as a team. Two are better than one, and that is doubly true when it comes to drug abuse treatment. Having your spouse by your side can give you the strength you need to build up your coping skills, develop new strategies for relapse prevention and succeed in your recovery efforts.
