Continuing Education Event – Unspoken Loyalty: Exploring the impact of trauma and substance Use in young adult families – webinar – 11/16/2021

Research continues to identify that one of the most critical elements of successful treatment is family involvement (SAMSHA). Research also reveals that as recovery capital increases and problem severity decreases recovery rates increase (White & Cloud, 2008). Notably, the research highlights the need for providers to fully integrate all external resources, including the family. As we see younger populations impacted by the disease, we must explore new avenues to meet their needs. Effective treatment practices, such as MAT should be explored and expanded so that evidence-based substance use treatment specifically targets our youth and young adults. Involving the family to educate on the role of MAT and to explore how their traumatic experiences in relation to their child’s SUD has impacted their parenting is an essential component to recovery. The unspoken loyalties to family could undermine recovery. When placed in a triangle, young adults often choose family over recovery.
