Agenda:
Problematic substance use can be a significant cause of stress for family members of the person using substances. This review, published in the journal Drug: Education, Prevention and Policy, examines current research in order to explore the question 'What is the impact of an adult family member's problematic substance use for family life?'
Following a systematic search, the researchers analysed the data of 15 qualitative studies.
The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) movement created the term "in recovery" to express the continuing requirement for vigilance in order to sustain sobriety (which includes abstinence from alcohol intake) and avoid a return to dangerous drinking. This term, or identity, may be adopted by someone who considers themselves to be in recovery for the rest of their lives.
Stigma is a major barrier to the well-being and recovery of people with lived and living experience of substance use disorders.
This animated video about two friends, Alex and Sam, explores the devastating impact of substance use stigma and how to challenge it in our communities.
