Abstract
Culturally appropriate strategies have been deemed necessary for the treatment of substance abuse among African American women. This qualitative study was conducted utilizing a grounded theory methodology within a womanist theoretical framework to explore the process by which parenting African American women participate in formal substance abuse treatment programs. Study findings yielded significant insights into this process and support the notion that culturally appropriate frameworks are necessary to help substance-abusing African American women enter into treatment programs and remain in recovery. In addition, specific interventions for treating substance-abusing African American women within a culturally relevant framework are discussed.
