Oasis Family Support Group

Oasis Recovery Center is proud to host weekly virtual group meetings for family members of current and past clients.

At Oasis Recovery Center, we know the heartache, confusion, and uncertainty that often accompany a loved one’s struggle with addiction. Addiction has effects that reach far beyond just the person battling substance use. It deeply impacts their family members and loved ones. This is why we offer an inviting, online family support group and family counseling the families and loved ones of those currently navigating and battling addiction.
 

  • Who Can Join: Family members of clients currently in treatment or recovery. There will be no current or past SACOT/IOP clients as a part of this meeting. This is just for family members and loved ones.
  • Where’s It At: Every Monday at 6:30 pm EST via Google Meet. Fill out the form below to receive your link.
  • Who Hosts It: Emily Wilhoit, Female IOP Director

Group Expectations

  • Respect is a must. This is a great opportunity to understand others.
  • Be aware of what you say. Be mindful of labels and terms that could be offensive.
  • We are a support group for family members- all pathways are welcome!
  • The goal is not to give each other advice but to support and listen.
  • If you want to give feedback to another family, please ask before doing so.
  • When someone is speaking, please check if your mic is muted to be respectful.
  • If you have an interruption during the group, please turn your camera off.
  • Please refrain from going into detail about substances or forms of substance use as they may be triggering for others.

Our Family Support Group is directed by a trained, compassionate clinician with ample experience in addiction recovery and how it affects family members. Members share their experiences, insight, and moral support in a safe, confidential environment amongst others who truly understand what they are going through. Whether you are a parent, spouse, sibling, or other family member, this group is a rare opportunity to connect with people treading a similar path.

The support you receive through our group can give you the care that you deserve. The sessions are run in a way where every participant is invited in turn to speak, creating a space for them to express themselves before being heard and respected. We focus on being a sounding board, offering support, and also working with you on tools that could assist you with the process of standing by your loved ones that are dealing with addiction.

Meeting Details and Schedule

  • Day & Time: Every Monday at 6:30 PM EST
  • Platform: Google Meet (an easy-to-use video conferencing tool)

This online support group is only for families and loved ones of people with addiction issues. Meetings occur weekly, providing a constant and continuous support system that you can rely on. Because this is online, you may attend from the comfort and privacy of your home since distance/location will not isolate you from those who would like to support you.

What to Expect in the Online Family Support Group

The online Family Support Group provides family members with a safe place to share their personal stories, struggles, and triumphs. The group creates a connection of trust, compassion, and understanding.

Facilitated by an experienced clinician, meetings secure an atmosphere for discussion that is wonderfully, thoughtfully, and respectfully managed. The role of the clinician is to provide companionship on this journey, and to remain a listener with some gentle guidance when needed. This helps group members feel respected and valued.

Why You Should Attend the Online Family Support Group

Seeing a loved one battle addiction is very hard and can be emotionally exhausting for family members. At Oasis Recovery Center, we provide a Family Support Group that is centered on creating an environment where your thoughts can flow; a safe community where you can share your feelings and gain the much-needed emotional support that can help throughout the recovery process.

Our group builds a community and cultivates empathy as you connect with like-minded individuals who understand what you’re going through. Plus, you’ll receive tools from our clinician which will allow you to navigate your own emotional health and support your loved one.

If you are a family member of someone who is battling addiction, please join us every Monday evening at 6:30 PM EST. Please remember you are not alone; allow us to help you with every step on this long journey.

For any questions or inquiries to get started with the group, please don’t hesitate to contact Oasis Recovery Center.
