Description

 In this innovative talk, Dr. Adams will discuss his research into outcomes for individuals that participated in the treatment of family members in treatment for Substance Use Disorder. He will present on various benefits to family participation in treatment, including improved outcomes for the identified patients as well as improvements in measures of mental health and wellness for the participating family members. He will explore methods that have had a more desired effect on outcomes and methods that have helped the entire family heal and effect positive change, including family restructuring, family assessment protocols, and techniques that encourage family involvement past the intervention and intake stage.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Summarize how the substance use disorder of an identified patient impacts the family members within the family system through an examination of dimensions of their mental health including levels of depression, anxiety and stress.

  • Identify 3-5 assessments, techniques and interventions that foster family healing and effect positive change within the family system such as family involved treatment programs and Residential Family Restructuring.

  • To discuss the lived experience of family members that have participated in the treatment of loved ones with substance use disorders, discuss treatment outcomes for family involved care, and to identify clinical and continuing care needs for family members.

  • Identify and discuss ongoing needs for aftercare for family members beyond the in-patient experience of their identified patient.
