What this research studies
This research focuses on preventing opioid and methamphetamine addiction among parents involved with the child welfare system. It utilizes the Families Actively Improving Relationships (FAIR) program, which is an intensive outpatient treatment designed to support parents struggling with substance use disorders. The project aims to adapt and implement this program in areas with limited access to services, collaborating with local child welfare agencies to ensure effective recruitment and support for families. By addressing substance use issues early, the program seeks to improve outcomes for both parents and their children.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are parents involved with the child welfare system who are at risk of opioid or methamphetamine addiction.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved with the child welfare system or do not have substance use issues may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the rates of addiction among parents, leading to better family stability and improved outcomes for children.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar prevention programs aimed at reducing substance use among parents, indicating a promising approach.
