COUPLES IN RECOVERY

couple Marriages are severely afflicted and even destroyed by the presence and processes of addiction, either the substance or the process addiction, and frequently by the combination of addictions. To create or rebuild such a broken marriage, not only does the addiction or "flawed solution" have to be removed, but also the resultant co-dependency, co-addiction and couple-shame have to be removed.

Recovering Couples Anonymous stresses the idea, and LES, Inc. concurs, that recovery is a three-pronged process that includes your recovery, your partner's recovery, and your recovery as a couple. While it is possible for two partners to achieve a solid recovery independent of one another, that alone will not guarantee the establishment of a healthy relationship. LES, Inc. strives to help teach a couple to integrate each one's personal recovery with the partner's recovery so that the healing of the relationship also occurs.
