Abstract
New advances in parenting (or caretaking) training programs increasingly recognize the important role of addressing parent psychopathology, which may include addictions, in improving program efficacy. Although parenting programs for those in recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other substances are emerging, few show high efficacy and long-term effects when subjected to rigorous designs. Understanding the unique needs and challenges of parenting in families with an adult in recovery from the perspective of these parents can inform approaches for program tailoring that may accompany the treatment of addictions. We conducted a qualitative analysis based on structured interviews with nineteen parents in recovery from AUD themselves or partnered with someone in recovery to assess perceived needs, barriers, and formats for parent programs tailored to this population. Results both support and deepen themes of previous studies and highlight the importance of a family-wide perspective in understanding the impact and potential treatment targets and needed supports for families of young children with an adult in recovery.
