Family Support
Family-Inclusive Care for Residential Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Mental health and substance use challenges affect more than one person. When appropriate and with the client’s consent, Northwoods offers structured family support designed to improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and support a safer transition home. Family involvement is always handled in a way that protects privacy and keeps treatment focused.
For Families
If you are researching care for a loved one, you may be carrying a lot at once. Our family resources explain what residential treatment looks like, how communication and privacy work, and what support can be helpful during and after treatment. You will also find guidance on family involvement, expectations during treatment, and planning for a safer return home.
For Professionals
If you are a clinician, care coordinator, or referral partner, this section provides a clear view of our clinical model, admissions workflow, and coordination approach. You will find information on referral fit, psychiatric services, dual diagnosis treatment planning, and how we support continuity from residential care to step-down and aftercare.
Next Steps
If you are calling for a loved one, we can help you understand what residential care involves and how family support typically works. We will talk through timing, expectations, and how to take the next step without adding pressure.
