Rosecrance is a Resource for Adults and Their Families
Substance abuse can make life difficult for everyone involved, including patients’ families and loved ones. When an adult member of your family has an addiction, you’ll need to understand the situation in depth to cope successfully.
Rosecrance can support you and your family members. We’ll help you take an active role in the recovery process. Our services include counseling, support, education, and information.
Family Visits
You and other family members are encouraged to join the family education program at the Rosecrance Harrison Campus on either or both session day(s). You’ll be able to have lunch with the family member. If you don’t join the family program, regular visiting hours are from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Women’s visiting hours are on Saturday. Families with female patients who come to the Saturday session can visit from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Men’s visiting hours are on Sunday. Families with male patients who come to the education program on Sunday can visit from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Individual Family Sessions
Family sessions are scheduled individually for each patient. The patient, his or her counselor and others of the patient’s choosing can take part. The Family Program Coordinator also conducts sessions with families by appointment.
Family Education Weekend
The family weekend at the Rosecrance Harrison Campus is a multi-session program that can help educate the entire family about addiction. The recovery process is also explained in detail. Sessions are offered from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
