Many youth fail to receive adequate treatment and aftercare. The objective of this systematic review was to examine the existing evidence of youth aftercare programs in Canada. The authors conducted our systematic review according to the guidelines provided by PRISMA. Of the manuscripts reviewed in their search strategy, 4 studies met the criteria established. Despite several limitations of this systematic review, the need for more comprehensive and theoretically driven studies to examine the effectiveness and efficacy of aftercare treatment youth aftercare programs is evident.","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"250 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2016.1225544","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60041549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall responsibility to help youth that need alcohol and/or drug treatment lies in the municipalities. Treatments take place either in institutions (e.g., child welfare institutions or inpatient settings) or at outpatient clinics (e.g., opioid maintained treatment, psychiatric youth team). If the adolescent needs detoxification services, they typically receive this in a hospital or residential treatment setting.

This introductory piece presents a synopsis of the articles in the issue, which address group treatment and recovery supports internationally and multi-culturally from a youth treatment and recovery lens. The articles offer an integration of international and diverse adolescent recovery supports, including those in Canada, Norway and the United States, and add to the larger body of recovery literature.","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"221 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2016.1228378","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60041657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is a pilot evaluation of the Renascent Children's Program, a family-based group program for COSAPs in Canada. Participants (N = 26) were assessed at baseline and at 1–3 month follow-up on a number of key child, parent, and family outcomes. Results demonstrated significant improvements in child well-being, parenting style, emotion regulation, and family functioning, with large effect sizes. These findings suggest that this program is an effective method of intervention for families struggling with addiction and recovery with school-age children.","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"282 - 295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2016.1211498","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60041482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mutual Support for Recovery from Addiction","authors":"B. Kelch","doi":"10.1080/1556035X.2016.1191267","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1556035X.2016.1191267","url":null,"abstract":"Wehave chosen five articles for this issue that demonstrate the importance ofmutual support for recovery from addiction, including the impact of addiction of the family and children of the practicing addict. These articles examine mutual support groups for chronic relapsers or those who are in stable recovery, the impact of peermentoring on the mentor, the effect of addiction treatment on families in India, the use of groups to intervene at the earliest stages of addiction for the unborn child, and finally, a study ofmutual support for individuals seeking serenity and peace-of-mind because of a family member’s addiction. Kearns and Brown examine the characteristics of three classifications of groups who attend Alcoholics Anonymous: newcomers, chronic relapsers, and endurers. This important contribution to the literature offers an alternative to an undifferentiated perspective on participants who attend AAmeetings. The article by Dugdale, Elison, Davies, Ward and Dalton studies the peer mentoring phenomenon and the impact that peer mentoring has on the peer mentor’s own recovery maintenance. This cutting edge research operationalizes the principles of mutual support that originated in AA: that an alcoholic keeps sobriety by giving it away. Lander, Marshalek and Sullivan add to the growing body of literature concerning the treatment of pregnant addicts, integrating medication assisted treatment and group psychotherapy to support recovery from substance use disorders. Their work increases our sensitivity to our task of eliminating the stigma attached to the addicted pregnant woman, which is so often a tragic barrier to seeking treatment. In the next article Colley offers an important observational study on the importance of the effect of alcoholism treatment and recovery on another group: the family group. This study from a different culture than we usually find in our literature supplements our knowledge base from a perspective of how alcoholism treatment is offered in the State of Kerala, India. Finally, we conclude this issue with a contribution from Sell and Magor-Blatch, which expands the literature on characteristics of participants of Al-Anon family support groups with their focus on the stress-straincoping support model. Like the article from Colley, this article on Al-Anon, coming as it does fromAustralia, creates an international context for our work, whichmight otherwise be marginalized as only regional in its applicability.","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"155 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2016.1191267","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60040788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The group modality is ideal for increasing access to treatment and addressing the specialized clinical needs experienced by pregnant women with substance use disorders while promoting interpersonal connection.
