The book It Takes a Family provides families with the entire Structured Family Recovery program. Each SFR team member uses their own hard copy of the book. Kindle versions do not work well for SFR meetings. (If you prefer reading on Kindle, have a hard copy on hand for SFR meetings.)

This webpage puts all of the necessary resources for preparing for your first SFR meeting at everyone’s fingertips. Each team member completes these short learning assignments prior to the first SFR meeting. This is the first step in getting everyone on the same page, which is key to success. Everything is presented using media that make this very simple even for the busiest lives.
While you’re waiting for your book to arrive, you can read the Introduction & Chapter 1 of It Takes a Family here (a friendly read of 13 pages). If you prefer, you can choose to listen to the audio at the top of this page. When you receive your copy of the book, simply finish reading to page 34.

Debra Jay walks you through your first SFR meeting (see the audio files below). Completing this audio snap training is key for every SFR team member before the first SFR meeting. It’s not news that success follows preparation. When it comes to addiction, we cannot afford anything less than success.
