Although the substance abuse treatment community recognizes that physical and psychological problems are common among families with a substance-abusing member, third-party funding for comprehensive treatment of the families of substance abusers is limited. Failure to provide treatment for these collateral effects of substance abuse on the family is thought to reduce the efficacy of substance abuse treatment, increase the risk of relapse, and leave untreated secondary pathology among family members. This article presents a review of health care utilization and cost-offset studies of the collateral effects of substance abuse on the family to aid administrators and planners in documenting the economic advantages of comprehensive treatment for the families of substance abusers.
尽管药物滥用治疗界认识到，在有药物滥用成员的家庭中，身体和心理问题很常见，但用于药物滥用者家庭综合治疗的第三方资金却很有限。未能针对药物滥用对家庭造成的这些附带影响提供治疗，被认为会降低药物滥用治疗的效果，增加复发风险，并使家庭成员中的继发性病理状况得不到治疗。本文综述了药物滥用对家庭附带影响的医疗保健利用和成本抵消研究，以帮助管理人员和规划人员证明对药物滥用者家庭进行综合治疗的经济优势。
