Healing Unhealthy Relationship Patterns
Codependency and addiction are deeply intertwined, with unhealthy relationship patterns often fueling substance use. Our program addresses both for lasting healing.

patterns often develop in families affected by addiction
requires addressing codependency for lasting sobriety

Codependency is a pattern of behavior where your sense of self-worth and identity becomes dependent on others. Codependent individuals often neglect their own needs while focusing excessively on caring for or controlling others, particularly those with addiction or other problems.
The relationship between codependency and addiction is complex. Some people develop codependency as a result of growing up in families affected by addiction. Others may use substances to cope with the stress and emotional pain of codependent relationships.
At Amity San Diego, we recognize that lasting recovery requires addressing codependency patterns. Our program helps you develop a strong sense of self, set healthy boundaries, and build relationships that support rather than undermine your sobriety.
