The concept for Integral Family Solutions (IFS) originated in response to the ever growing and changing needs that are being faced within the treatment community.  As addiction treatment concepts continue to advance and move forward, the need for solid education has become even more important for everyone involved.  Our purpose at Integral Family Solutions is to provide a basis for understanding the disease of addiction.  

It is our goal at IFS to engage the family with the understanding that long term recovery is a systemic process.  Through education, “Systemic Family” members that are dealing with the difficult issues related to having a loved one struggling with addiction, can find hope in a time of helplessness.
