Dilworth Center’s Family Program offers a comprehensive and supportive approach.
It is designed to help families navigate the challenges of a loved one’s substance use disorder. This program provides education, counseling, and group sessions to empower family members with the knowledge and skills they need to foster a healthier family dynamic. By emphasizing open communication, self-care, and boundary-setting, families learn how to support their loved one’s recovery journey while maintaining their own emotional well-being. Through compassionate guidance, Dilworth Center aims to break the cycle of addiction and help families heal together.
In 2019, our adolescent program was named in memory of Saxon Boswell.
Saxon Boswell was known for his love of adventure and his fullness of heart, which was open to all and closed to none.
After nine years at Charlotte Country Day School, Saxon ventured north to Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. When he tired of the New England winters, he returned to Charlotte to graduate from Myers Park High School. While attending the University of Alabama, Saxon spent a year at The National Outdoor Leadership School, where he discovered his passion for the beauty and challenges of the outdoors. Committing himself to leadership in the wilderness, Saxon returned to Charlotte to work for the U.S. National Whitewater Center.
Like all great leaders, Saxon excelled at guiding people outside their comfort zones, though he never appeared to be outside his own. However, hidden behind his charm and sense of humor was a struggling alcoholic. At age 24, Saxon lost the battle with addiction. However, his legacy lives on encouraging young adults to brave the wilderness of addiction – to step outside their comfort zones and seek recovery, reclaiming their lives and rediscovering their purpose.
