As part of its ongoing commitment to providing exceptional clinical services, Foothills at Red Oak Recovery is excited to announce the recent expansion of its family programming. Organizing these efforts has been spearheaded by Bridget Camacho, LCSW, Clinical Director at Foothills at Red Oak Recovery with the assistance of the entire clinical team. The family programming at Foothills now includes:

• Initial therapeutic/program orientation
• Weekly family therapy sessions with Primary Therapist
• Weekly parent coaching sessions with Family Therapist
• Bi-weekly parent webinars with Director of Clinical Services
• Monthly family workshops with Family Therapist and Clinical Team
• Monthly family support groups (this continues after graduation and is open to alumni families as well) with Executive Director
• Family intensive with Primary Therapist, Family Therapist, and Treatment Team

With these updates to Foothills’ therapeutic programming, families will receive a minimum of 2-3 hours of services every week, with an additional two days of programming with each family workshop (occurring once during a client’s stay).

Foothills is also delighted to announce the addition of Cater Davis, MFT, to the team as Family Therapist. Cater will support the further development of family services at Foothills at Red Oak Recovery. “Cater brings fresh energy to the team,” says Bridget Camacho, LCSW, Clinical Director. “Cater’s experience in family therapy and family coaching is exactly what this program needs to take our family programming to the next level, and her background in family systems and experience with experiential modalities makes her the perfect fit for our family therapist role.  Cater strongly believes in the importance of family support and healing.  She has a great way of supporting families through their treatment journey so that they can create safety within their relationships, repair relationship ruptures, and achieve their family goals.”

Implementing the updates to the family program is a team effort, and as such, parents, parent figures, and families have the support of the entire therapeutic team at Foothills. In addition to sessions with their primary therapist, Kurt Arsenault, LCSW, Executive Director of Foothills and Lynn Wadsworth, MS, LCMHCS, LCAS, CCS, CTT-1, Director of Clinical Services for Red Oak Recovery® programs lead two of the monthly support offerings.

“At the core of who we are and how we build relationships is family,” says Kurt Arsenault, LCSW, Executive Director. “It is vital that our programming supports the healing of the family relationship in order to set our clients up for lasting success. With the addition of these programmatic elements at Foothills, all family members can learn, grow, and heal – together.”
