    Mountain Minds Matter‘s Therapies & Programs

    Substance abuse does a number on an individual’s relationship with other people, particularly in marriage. Spousal relationships bear the brunt of alcohol and drug dependence. Therefore, it becomes critical to submit the relationship to couples therapy to prevent straining it further. Most programs only zero in on the individual with substance addiction without factoring in the importance of the other half’s emotional support.

    However, some facilities, like Mountain Minds Matter in Girdwood, Alaska, offer couples therapy options to manage intimate partnerships amid the recovery process. Other couples-focused treatment plans can provide the patient and their partner tools to get things back to normal, support each other, and the patient’s sobriety.

Healing any family trauma and dysfunctional communications is important, and Mountain Minds Matter understands this. Family sessions are meant to bring Alaska families closer together and live sober, healthy, lives.
