Abstract

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with numerous medical, psychiatric, psychological, spiritual, economic, social, family, and legal problems, creating a significant burden for affected individuals, their families, and society. This paper focuses on the effects of SUDs on family and social problems and emphasizes the need for clients in treatment to address these domains in their ongoing recovery. Individual, group, and family interventions to address these issues for clients with SUDs and their families are reviewed.

Keywords: addiction; family; recovery; social; treatment.
