Program Overview

Westover considers addiction as a family disease, and family members and friends may also need support. Our Codependency Program is designed to help friends and family members recover from the harmful effects of living in a substance dependent environment.

Our program will help you address the questions below in a quiet and supportive atmosphere:

● Has your life been affected by a family member, friend or colleague misusing alcohol or drug substances?

● Do you find your life revolves around supporting that person?

● Do you feel that your own life is out-of-control?

● Do you need to take the time to look after yourself and to find ways to deal with those around you?

● Are you willing to attend a week long program focused on you, your life and your innermost thoughts?

● Have you taken the time to attend Al Anon or other self-help groups to find support?

Addressing these issues takes time, effort and honesty, but you’ll be supported by counsellors who will help you explore a healthier way to live. If you feel it is time to focus on yourself, your health and well being, then please review our admissions process below.

Additionally, feel free to review our checklist to see if you are co-dependent.

IN RESIDENCE (6 Days)
