Family Empowerment Workshop

Practical Tools and Support for Families Navigating Recovery

& Those who only think they know the impact of this disorder

"What you don’t know, you don't know about SUD!"

& And you don't know that you don't know.

The #1 challenge to family support, and to others, is not understanding that what their loved one is experiencing is not a choice. Once we were overcome by the disease, most of us immediately lost the power to choose. From personal experience, I’d guess they can tell you the moment they knew they were in trouble. I will never forget how good it felt and how bad it got. That will not help you help me. You need to get outside of what you think you know. Only then will you understand that the inability to stop is often worse than what you see.

Prior to the COVID shutdown, I facilitated my first family session. The attendance was roughly 70 people. My goal was to engage those already trying to support their loved ones with information that would make a real difference in how they see their loved ones and, just as importantly, themselves in that relationship. Interestingly, they struggled as much as their loved ones with engagement and the role they play in the relationship. We all learned a lot, and it was amazing.

As a retired SUD therapist with over 41 years of victory over SUD, I know what it takes to achieve meaningful and, lasting outcomes for clients in recovery and you, the supportive families. I’ve worked with people from college graduates and professionals to felons and others from all walks of life.

If there’s one truth I’ve learned, it’s this: recovery begins when we’re willing to face ourselves.

The Precision Intensive is more than another curriculum—it is a strategic partner for your clinical team, designed to strengthen the excellence you already deliver and clarify the value it adds to client outcomes.

Workshop Snapshot

Family healing is key to lasting recovery—yet families are often left out of the process. Led by Victor Lee, a retired SUD therapist, professional speaker/group facilitator for 26 years, and a victor over addiction for over 4 decades. He created this workshop to give families the tools, confidence, and support they need to move from overwhelm to hope and meaningful action. The greatest of these tools, in his view, is first and foremost a greater understanding of what Substance use disorder is and the impact on those who have it. However, he saw the need for self-care. While SUD is a family disease, this is an opportunity for us to be more proactive in supporting you as you support your loved one.

Raise The Bar On Recovery-For Good

I learned firsthand as a recovering addict and a professional that lasting recovery starts after treatment—when real life begins and commitment is truly tested. That’s why I created the 3-Day Precision Intensive: to ensure clients leave with more than just sobriety—they leave with the tools, self-mastery, and lived experience required for lifelong success.
