Family is essential to the success of clients that attend Renaissance Ranch. The disease of addiction affects all members of the family. As a result, it is vitally important to have all relevant family members involved in their own process of individual recovery.

The person struggling with addiction is said to suffer from the disease of addiction whereas the family suffers from the disease of co-dependency.

Codependency is the other side of the coin of chemical dependency. Historically, the concept of codependence "comes directly out of Alcoholics Anonymous - part of a dawning realization that the problem was not solely the addict, but also the family and friends who constitute a network for the alcoholic/addict."

At Renaissance Ranch, we offer education, therapy and suggestions for ways in which to treat this part of the family disease.
