Destinations For Teens Las Vegas
2851 N. Tenaya Way Suite 205, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89128
Destinations focuses on Family Systems Therapy at the core of our care. Family Systems Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps
individuals resolve their problems in the context of the whole family. Each family member works together with the others to better
understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most
important premises of Family Systems Therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family.

Group therapy is a vital component of addiction recovery treatment, considered as important and effective (sometimes even more so) than individual therapy. Benefits include reducing isolation and loneliness and providing the opportunity to learn from others in recovery. In the addiction setting, group therapy is run by trained professionals who guide participants toward a shared goal of recovery.Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.
