Treatment is a great beginning, but what happens when the loved one returns home?  What if he/she won't seek treatment?  What about repeated relapse?

The truth is, as family members, in every moment, we are contributing to either the use or the recovery.  When families learn the Be A Loving Mirror (BALM®) method, ​we gain clarity and objectivity that help us become contributors to recovery.  We learn how to  truly be helpful and loving while we restore our own peace and inspire change in our loved one.

BALM® Comprehensive Family Recovery Education helps families become their loved one's best chance at recovery. 

FAMILIES who LEARN THE BALM® METHOD learn how to:

• Erase judgments that create barriers between families and their loved one
• Establish and adhere to boundaries
• Improve communication with their loved one
• Respond, rather than react, to situations
• Become aware of triggers that can lead to relapse
• Enjoy their lives again, regardless of their loved one's choices
• Avoid the mental obsession that plagues so many families
  who are caught up in their loved one’s addiction
• Achieve peace in the home and live a sane and joyful life
• Be a Loving Mirror!

​​Membership in the BALM® program covers a family of four participants and lasts for one year. 

BALM membership for your family is included with a one year coaching agreement.
