Rehab Posts Educational Guide for SUD Parents

Pinnacle Peak Recovery, of Scottsdale, Arizona, has worked many years in the substance use and mental health recovery field. They recently showcased their true commitment to their community by offering a free, in-depth guide for parents of people who are going through recovery.

The piece is broken down into seven chapters, with a glossary at the end of the piece. The goal of this informational document is to help answer many of the common questions that parents might have when they learn their child is dealing with a substance use disorder. No matter the child’s age, Pinnacle Peak acknowledges how scary and helpless parents often feel when they don’t know how to properly help their child.

Pinnacle Peak’s goal with this piece is to provide parents with an easy reference during the course of their child’s healing. While some people may benefit from, or prefer to read the piece in its entirety, other readers can easily browse through the guide in search of specific answers. In order to be the most helpful for someone going through recovery, having a baseline knowledge of what they’re experiencing can be key.

“As uncomfortable as it is to consider, the families of those who develop a substance use disorder must make an honest assessment of how they may have contributed to their child’s substance use,” Pinnacle Peak reminds readers. “This is not a time for blame or shame, but an opportunity to consider what family behaviors could have contributed to your child’s substance use and how you can be part of their recovery solution.”

The Arizona rehab center knows that anyone can make a change in their lives, no matter their past. “Substance use affects the whole family.” This is why they stress to parents and other family members the importance of self-healing during the child’s recovery journey, too. “All families face challenges that are often complex and everyone is on a journey to learn how to manage difficult situations and feelings healthily.”

Beyond support groups and individual healing, the guide goes in-depth about specific types of substances and what the signs and withdrawal periods would look like for each one. Substance use disorders come in many shapes and sizes, and Pinnacle Peak takes the time to lay the groundwork for the most common substances seen in rehab facilities.

During the guide, Pinnacle Peak continues to assure families that they are not alone in this and acknowledges that at times it can seem daunting to consider how varied treatments may be. “There are many different kinds of treatments and it is important to work with treatment providers to choose the mode that will best serve your loved one. Not all treatments work for everyone but with the variety of treatment options available, there is a high likelihood that a compatible treatment exists for your child.”

No matter the question, Pinnacle Peak takes the time to address it. This in-depth guide is available for free on their website, even for those who don’t choose Pinnacle Peak as their rehab center of choice. Their goal is to help provide resources for the community as a whole to continue to help people find the treatment they deserve.
