Abstract

ABSTRACT Substance use disorders (SUDS) are highly prevalent chronic health conditions that have dire impacts on the health and wellbeing of not only the individual with an SUD, but on their family members as well. This is important as the family is often one of the most important support groups for an individual seeking recovery from an SUD. The present study provides an update regarding a previously published and implemented multifamily group curriculum (MFGC) for family members of those with an SUD. More specifically, changes to the curriculum are highlighted, and results from data analyses on important factors associated with individual and family member recovery are shared and discussed. There is evidence of this updated MFGC continuing to be an effective intervention for family members with a loved-one seeking recovery from an SUD; however, greater and more long-term support for family members is still needed. Additionally, results of this study showed that change in important factors associated with family member wellbeing and family recovery is associated with relapse status of the loved-one seeking recovery from a SUD at a follow-up time point.

物质使用障碍个体家庭成员的多家庭小组课程:更新，感知和结果

物质使用障碍(SUDS)是一种非常普遍的慢性健康状况，不仅对SUD患者的健康和福祉有严重影响，而且对其家庭成员也有严重影响。这一点很重要，因为家庭通常是寻求从SUD中恢复的个人最重要的支持团体之一。本研究提供了关于先前出版和实施的多家庭小组课程(MFGC)的更新，该课程适用于患有SUD的家庭成员。更具体地说，强调了课程的变化，并分享和讨论了与个人和家庭成员康复相关的重要因素的数据分析结果。有证据显示，这套更新后的家庭康复计划，对于有亲人寻求康复的家庭成员来说，仍然是一种有效的干预措施;然而，仍然需要为家庭成员提供更多和更长期的支持。此外，本研究结果表明，与家庭成员幸福感和家庭康复相关的重要因素的变化与在随访时间点寻求从SUD中恢复的亲人的复发状态有关。

期刊介绍： Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly is an exciting professional journal for clinicians working with persons who are alcoholic and their families. Designed to bridge the gap between research journals and information for the general public, it addresses the specific concerns of professional alcoholism counselors, social workers, psychologists, physicians, clergy, nurses, employee assistance professionals, and others who provide direct services to persons who are alcoholic. The journal features articles specifically related to the treatment of alcoholism, highlighting new and innovative approaches to care, describing clinical problems and solutions, and detailing practical, unique approaches to intervention and therapy.
