Structured Family Recovery®

Counselor Training & Certification

The SFR counselor training is designed to prepare addiction professionals, clergy, and other well-qualified individuals to work with the entire family system. You will learn how to help families from the earliest days of addiction treatment throughout the entire first year of recovery. The textbook for this training is: It Takes a Family: A Cooperative Approach to Lasting Sobriety.

Debra and Jeff Jay redefined how trainings are done in the addiction field, with their standard-setting clinical interventionist trainings at Betty Ford Center and The Retreat. The Structured Family Recovery^® Counselor training and certification expands on this innovative and challenging design for learning. Participants will gain a strong skill set they can apply immediately to their work. They will also learn a new way to expand their professional practice.

We believe in raising the bar of excellence and, in doing so, elevating the reputation of the addiction treatment profession. This training expands family support during and after treatment.

Debra and Jeff Jay will facilitate all distance learning sessions. Dates shown below.
