Abstract
This study explores the content family members find helpful in family meetings that occur while patients are in short-term treatment for substance use disorders. Four focus groups were conducted: 3 with 23 family members and 1 with 10 patients who were asked to identify those topics that are helpful or unhelpful for families with and without prior treatment experiences. Families identified education about substance use disorders and an overview of treatment options as useful for family members new to treatment, and an emphasis on response to relapse and family supports as important for those with prior treatment experiences.
