Addiction

Addiction contributes to poor communication, lack of trust, and dysfunction in family businesses. Data from a 21-year study led by REGENERATION indicates that over 50% of family firms seeking assistance from a family business consultant have an embedded addiction issue among the ranks of family management.

Addiction frequently operates in secret, quietly threatening to destroy a family enterprise. Because families keep this issue private, they often sweep alcohol dependence and drug abuse under the rug. Consequently, unaddressed problems fester, ruin family communication, and impair business performance.

Denial, stifled communication, and ignored bad behavior create a toxic work atmosphere. As a result, unaddressed addiction dramatically increases the risk of complete business failure.

Fortunately, outside experts offer clear perspective and proven solutions when addiction takes hold. At REGENERATION, we take these challenges seriously. We actively heal damaged business operations while restoring open, healthy communication across the family.
