In this episode we reference a great book titled It Takes a Family by Debora Jay. In this book, Debra Jay provides a step-by-step guide to Structured Family Recovery, which is a way for families and addicts to construct a whole family recovery plan of their own. “Seventy-eight percent never have a single relapse. Less than 15 percent have one relapse but not a second. And those with more than one relapse? A whopping 7 percent.” – Debora Jay
