Families First North Meridian Street

Families First Center is a substance use treatment provider offering family-focused addiction care as part of the Firefly Children and Family Alliance network.

The center provides outpatient and intensive outpatient programs that address substance use disorders, trauma and underlying causes while helping participants repair important relationships.

Its family-centered approach sets it apart from traditional standalone rehab programs.

Assessing Goals and Needs

Treatment begins with an assessment covering substance use, physical health, mental health and social health.

Clients can then enter a 12-week outpatient program that meets two hours once weekly, or an intensive outpatient program that meets three hours a day, three days a week for eight weeks.

This phase is followed by weekly sessions. Treatment methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and trauma-related counseling.

Co-occurring Disorder Care

Families First Center serves young adults and adults, including men and women.

Programming supports people with co-occurring disorders, those who have experienced trauma, individuals involved with the court system and clients needing domestic violence-related services.

Outpatient and telehealth options are available making care more accessible for those balancing work, family or other responsibilities.
