Marietta-based treatment program The Extension issued the following press release announcing a grant to support its work: The Extension is pleased to announce the expansion of its evidence-based treatment program to include family education and therapy through the support of a two-year, $180,000 grant from the Amerigroup Foundation. Recognizing the profound impact of substance use disorders on the overall well-being of every family member, not just the individual struggling with addiction, the new Reconnecting Families program is designed to help improve family relationships and provide enhanced support for those in recovery. Many clients at The Extension come from families that experienced dysfunction, creating significant barriers to achieving sobriety and realizing their full potential. Evidence shows that individuals with strong family support are more likely to remain in treatment, stop misusing substances, and stay sober. Amerigroup Foundation’s funding will be instrumental in bolstering the evidenced based treatment program, including case management support and direct family education classes led by a licensed family therapist. Clients and their families will benefit from individually tailored one-on-one counseling and support based on their individual needs. “Our team looks forward to growing this new program thanks to the Amerigroup Foundation’s support.
