At Las Vegas Recovery Center (LVRC) we feel that family support is a critical component of substance abuse treatment and recovery.  I have included information about our Family Renewal Program; our program is four days and is facilitated by Dr. Mel Pohl, Dr. Rob Hunter, and other staff clinicians.

Dr. Hunter, in addition to several other addiction specialists, educate and facilitate discussion with families about the disease of addiction, appropriate boundaries, effective communication, co-dependency, and enabling.  Families who attend this program report that they find it extremely helpful whether their family member is in treatment at LVRC or at another program.

The next programs will be held: October 13 - 16 | November 17 - 20 | December 15 - 18

The schedule below will provide additional information about the material to be covered. 

The cost is waived for the family program if a family member is a client in treatment at our inpatient facility, LVRC, for up to two (2) family participants. If there are more than 2 family members attending, the cost is $550.

The fee for other families interested in attending is $550 up to two (2) family participants.

For any attendees from the community the fee for Family Renewal Program will be $550.00 for 2 persons, unless negotiated separately.

For any attendees from the community the fee for Family Renewal Program through the Court system will be $275.00 for 2 persons.

We are committed to providing dignified and effective treatment of addiction for individuals and their families. We know the support of family and friends plays a significant role in the treatment process. It is our goal to have each and every client, along with his or her family members, leave our centers with a successful treatment experience, which includes education and tools to use while navigating through life’s many challenges. Together we can achieve real recovery results that will not only help individuals find freedom from active addiction, but show them and their families how to rebuild their lives and stay on the road of recovery.
