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.

“The SFR® training with Debra & Jeff Jay was by far the best I have ever had. As the owner of an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Center, I have incorporated many of the concepts in to our work and we are already beginning to see dramatic changes.”

Lois Jordan, LCSW, LCDC
Owner & Director of Solutions Outpatient Services, Dallas, TX

“Debra Jay unlocks the secrets of this revolutionary approach [the New Paradigm] to addiction…  The author highlights the essential element of the approach as no one else has: the crucial role of the addict’s family.”

Robert DuPont, MD
1st Director, National Institute on Drug Abuse

“In over 20 years of specializing in family systems and addiction, I’ve never seen families change so quickly. As a matter of fact, I see things happen in 2 to 3 weeks that, as a profession, we just weren’t able to make happen before.”

Steve Hanna, MA
