What this research studies

This research focuses on developing and evaluating family-based recovery support services for adolescents struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD). It aims to enhance family involvement in the treatment process, recognizing that family dynamics play a crucial role in the recovery of young individuals. The project will create training protocols for healthcare providers to better engage families and improve the overall support system for youth in recovery. By integrating family-level interventions, the research seeks to foster a more supportive environment for adolescents facing OUD.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have opioid use disorder or those who are not engaged with their families may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve recovery outcomes for adolescents with opioid use disorder by strengthening family support systems.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that family-based interventions can be effective in supporting recovery from substance use disorders, indicating a promising approach in this area.
