These barriers can be physcological, including not being ready to stop using opioids, not wanting others to find out, stigma, not knowing where to get treatment, and not thinking it would help. They may also be due to financial concerns and or not believing they have the time to devote to treatment (Wu, Blazer, Li, & Woody, 2011). Adolescents are unlikely to assert their need for treatment for prescription opioid misuse themselves and may not receive any treatment until their problem comes to the attention of an adult. This is a problem because the adolescent’s opioid misuse may not receive adult attention unless there are external consequences, such as legal issues (Wu, Blazer, Li, & Woody, 2011). Because of how common prescription opioid misuse is among adolescents living in absent parent or single parent households (Nakawaki & Crano, 2012), many adolescents who misuse prescription opioids may have limited adult support, which may serve as a barrier to

Introduction Substance use and abuse has far reaching implications for all of society, and has significant effects on the global burden of disease. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) has indicated that substance use disorders (SUD) may have a formidable effect on the health of individuals, families, and communities (SAMSHA, 2016). Whiteford, Ferrari, Degenhardt, Feigin, and Vos (2015) stated, “Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are a leading cause of the disease burden worldwide, substantially contributing to health loss across the lifespan” (p. 8). Reasons for the prevalence of substance abuse are multi-factorial. Those who use, or abuse, frequently suffer from a multitude of other problems, such as physical diseases, mental disorders, and dysfunctional familial, social, and financial

Like in the case study selected, Gustavo has a problem with addiction. Solving this problem needs the involvement of Gustavo’s relationships, and not the individual’s inner psyche like the traditional therapy methods do. This approach is based on the belief that a change in a person’s behaviour affects the family members and the family functions over time (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2009). The case study presented is a perfect example illustrating this theory.

The role of family based interventions in the prevention of substance abuse in Adolescents; Over the past few decades, Substance use and abuse among adolescents has continued to be important public health concerns that contribute greatly to morbidity throughout globally. The present essay aimed to investigate the family role in the prevention of substance use in adolescents.

The information of this assessment came from the client and his parents. The youth is first interviewed alone and given two assessment OYAS and MASYI-2. Next, just the parents are in the room for their interview and then they all came back in together, this process takes about 45 min.- an hour to complete. We use information from the assessments and prior history from our database to assess risk areas. Since the PDR is done in the intake process and new issues may arise there is an update to the PDR as well as case notes that anyone working the case has access to.

After completing a family analysis and assessment with various models, I would like to reflect on how I can better utilize these tools in my future and gain a better understanding of family centered care. I will be using the Rolfe, Freshwater, & Jasper (2001) model to complete my reflection and weigh the pros and cons of assessing the family with the Calgary Family Assessment Model, the genogram, and the ecomap. I started making the genogram first, this was probably the most laborious part of the assignment. Getting used to the computer programming took the majority of the time. After the initial struggle to gain momentum, the project became much easier and the ecomap was created more naturally than the genogram.

Through drug abuse, families are torn apart. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the family structure changes when a family member is abusing substances. (National Center for Biotechnology Information, n.d.). This study focused on the relationship between a substance abuser with his or her family. According to Reilly, families face a clear pattern when drug usage is involved: negativism, parental inconsistency, parental denial, miscarried expression of anger, self‐medication, and unrealistic parental expectations (Reilly, 1992).
