“It takes a village.” Since a book with this phrase was published several years ago it has become a popular phrase.
One of the common interpretations of the phrase is that for most human beings, if not all of us, it ideally takes many people who care about us and our well-being to take a collective hand in supporting and guiding us through life’s trials and tribulations.
At Northstar, it is our passionate and fervent belief that program patients can reap invaluable benefits from the involvement of family and friends in their treatment program.
In our progressive and changing society, we embrace an inclusive definition of family. Some patients may not have the good fortune of having family members who are willing and able to participate in family therapy and therapeutic milieu visits. And that is ok. At our residential addiction treatment in Tarzana, we work with the patient to identify significant friends in their life who are available to attend sessions and provide the love and caring essential for successful rehabilitation.
