Most women in substance abuse treatment are of childbearing age, and many of them have children who both are affected by and influence the mother's substance abuse and treatment behaviors.
This qualitative study (n = 13) was conducted in two drug treatment centers in southern Florida and explored the perspectives of mothers currently or recently in substance abuse treatment regarding their recovery motivators and challenges, as well as their attitudes and preferences regarding family involvement in their treatment.
We used a qualitative descriptive approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with the participants and centered on 3 major themes: (a) motivators for recovery, (b) challenges for recovery, and (c) attitudes and preferences for family involvement in recovery.
Findings revealed that family plays an important role in the recovery of these mothers, and that mothers are willing to incorporate their families in their recovery process. Women expressed a positive attitude towards family therapy, and they believed that it could benefit their recovery, and their relationship with their children and families.
The findings of this study can contribute to the development of a family-based substance abuse treatment aftercare intervention that might benefit women in substance abuse treatment.
大多数接受药物滥用治疗的女性处于育龄期，她们中的许多人育有子女，这些子女既受母亲药物滥用及治疗行为的影响，同时也会对其产生影响。
这项定性研究（n = 13）在佛罗里达州南部的两个戒毒治疗中心开展，探讨了目前正在接受或近期接受过药物滥用治疗的母亲对于康复动机与挑战的看法，以及她们对于家庭参与其治疗的态度和偏好。
我们采用定性描述性方法。对参与者进行了深入访谈，访谈围绕三个主要主题展开：（a）康复动机，（b）康复挑战，以及（c）家庭参与康复的态度和偏好。
研究结果表明，家庭在这些母亲的康复过程中发挥着重要作用，并且母亲们愿意让家人参与到她们的康复进程中。女性对家庭治疗持积极态度，她们认为家庭治疗有助于康复，以及改善她们与子女及家人的关系。
本研究结果有助于开发一种基于家庭的药物滥用治疗后续干预措施，这可能会使接受药物滥用治疗的女性受益。
