Family Program
From earliest time in treatment, addictions have been viewed as a family disease. In order to truly break the cycle of chaos and enabling,  family members must also understand their contribution to the problem. S.T.R.A.I.G.H.T. employs a twelve-week family education  component to address the issues most relevant to family members dealing with the addiction and recovery of drug court clients. In addition they are educated into the dynamics of Drug Court. This is done as a separate track from primary treatment and gives the family member an opportunity to engage in their own personal forum with other family members and begin to see that the cycle of problems is not unique to their situation. This is the basis for recovery. The program is facilitated by trained professionals and attendance is monitored. Clients are given "credit" for family participation and this participation is reported in court status. Non-attendance of family members is dealt with by requiring the client to attend two (2) extra AA or NA meetings as a graduated sanction. Thus, clients soon become anxious to have family members participate in the process. Family members are frequently acknowledged in court by the judge and publicly thanked for their participation in the treatment process.

Family members completing the program often express gratitude at the opportunity to finally begin to understand addiction and recovery related matters. They are likewise strongly encouraged to attend Al-anon meetings for their own benefit.
