Family Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

We offer Family Solution Focused Brief Therapy as part of our comprehensive mental health–first treatment approach with integrated substance use disorder (SUD) care. This therapy emphasizes identifying and strengthening the existing resources and resilience within the family system to support positive change. By engaging the entire family in the therapeutic process, we work to cultivate a supportive, empowering environment that reinforces healing and stability. Our experienced clinicians are committed to helping families navigate the challenges associated with mental health and substance use, identifying practical solutions that support long-term wellness and recovery. We believe that involving family members in care creates a strong foundation for sustained progress and lasting success.

Healing Family Bonds in Recovery

Family Focused Therapy at Sanctuary Recovery Centers plays a vital role in our comprehensive mental health–first treatment approach with integrated substance use disorder (SUD) care. We recognize that recovery impacts not only the individual, but the entire family system. Our family therapy sessions are designed to repair relationships, restore trust, and foster a supportive environment that strengthens long-term healing and recovery.


Utilizing Motivational Interviewing in Family Therapy

We incorporate motivational interviewing as a core therapeutic modality within our Family Focused Therapy. This approach supports more effective communication, helps family members better understand one another’s perspectives, and encourages collaborative motivation toward meaningful, positive change within the family unit.

Navigating the Nuances of Recovery in Family Therapy

Within our Family Focused Therapy program at Sanctuary Recovery Centers, we thoughtfully address the complex dynamics that mental health challenges and substance use disorder can create within families. Recognizing that every family system is unique, our clinicians are skilled in navigating these dynamics with care and intention. Sessions are structured to surface underlying concerns, promote empathy, and build shared accountability for healing. This process supports the individual’s recovery while empowering families to develop healthier communication patterns, establish boundaries, and rebuild trust. By addressing these relational factors, family therapy becomes a powerful foundation for a stable, supportive home environment essential to long-term mental wellness and recovery.


Why Our Family Focused Therapy Stands Out

  • Emphasis on healing and strengthening family relationships
  • Use of motivational interviewing to enhance communication
  • Tailored therapy sessions addressing specific family dynamics
  • Support for family members' emotional well-being
  • Integration with individual treatment plans
