Family systems are severely impacted by either addictive disorders or when a
member is living with a serious chronic pain condition. Treatment planning becomes
even more problematic when both conditions coexist and the inclusion of MFTs
becomes imperative. This workshop will explore the many obstacles facing these
families including controversial and mixed information on how to
proceed. This workshop explains a strategic three-part approach for improving
treatment outcomes and giving these families new hope. (*CD of workshop available
