Families First

Families First, part of the Firefly Children and Family Alliance provides substance use treatment in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The program serves adult men and women living with substance use disorder, including those facing co-occurring mental health conditions.

Emphasizing a family-centered philosophy Families First treats addiction as something that affects the whole family and focuses on restoring relationships along the path to recovery.

Family-Centered Addiction Treatment

Families First specializes in outpatient and intensive outpatient care for individuals working toward lasting sobriety.

Care begins with a comprehensive substance use assessment followed by structured programming.

They offer an outpatient group meeting two hours weekly or an intensive outpatient track of three hours a day, three days a week for eight weeks, then weekly sessions for eight more weeks.

Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and relapse prevention, alongside education and coping-skills development.

Sessions also emphasize healthy relationship work and boundary-setting helping clients address root causes while rebuilding trust with loved ones.

Aftercare and continuing care support progress after the core program ends.

Family and Community Support

Beyond addiction care Families First offers family and couples counseling along with trauma-related counseling and mental health services.

The broader organization also provides domestic violence services, naloxone and overdose education and community-based family supports.
