Frequently Asked Questions
Why is family involvement important in addiction treatment?
Family members significantly influence recovery. Research shows that involving families improves treatment outcomes, increases recovery duration, and reduces relapse rates. Family support, changing family dynamics, and addressing family factors all contribute to long-term recovery success.
What is multisystemic family therapy (MST)?
MST is an evidence-based treatment addressing substance abuse within family and community contexts. Therapists work with the entire family system, addressing multiple factors affecting the individual (family, school, peers, community). MST is intensive, home-based, and has strong outcomes for adolescent substance abuse.
How does family therapy help addiction recovery?
Family therapy addresses dysfunctional family patterns, communication problems, and dynamics that contribute to or maintain addiction. It helps families support recovery, establish healthy boundaries, and build skills for managing stress and conflict without substance use.
What if the person with addiction doesn't want family involved?
Family involvement may happen at different intensities. Some people start with individual treatment then add family components. Others benefit from family support groups like Al-Anon or Nar-Anon for families. Treatment professionals can help determine the best approach for each situation.
Who funds family-based addiction treatment?
Federal funders include SAMHSA, NIDA (for research-based programs), and state health and family services departments. Some grants specifically prioritize adolescent substance abuse treatment with family involvement, and family services agencies often receive funding supporting addiction components.
How effective is family-based addiction treatment?
Research shows family-based treatment, particularly MST and family therapy, is highly effective especially for adolescents. Family involvement increases treatment engagement, improves outcomes, reduces relapse, and strengthens protective factors supporting long-term recovery.
