Abstract

Families in which a parent or caregiver abuses chemicals face specific and unique problems that affect the health and well-being of the next generation,as well as the quality of current family life. This article reports on an intervention in which the multifamily group treatment method is used to address the needs of families with a parent in addiction recovery. Program participants reported continued sobriety at groupʼs end and follow-up, increased knowledge and awareness of addiction as a disease, and increased closeness and better understanding among family members.
