    BronxCare Health System - Fulton Avenue‘s Therapies & Programs

    Couples therapy is an approach wherein the patients and their partners are engaged together as a part of the treatment process. When a person becomes a victim of substance abuse, it affects the patient and the people around him, particularly his partner. Their relationship can become strained due to lack of communication, financial issues, loss of trust, lack of intimacy, and physical abuse in more severe cases.

If trauma is the primary cause of substance abuse, then both issues must be addressed. Otherwise, there is a risk of relapse.
