The researchers of this article aim to discuss the importance and value that one’s occupation may hold in regards to achieving and maintaining sobriety. The researchers accurately define and discuss the defining aspect of one’s occupation as well as exploring the meaning one’s occupation holds for that person. The goal for this research was to discover if occupation-based interventions were more useful, or had higher success rates, than other popular therapies …show more content…
L., Bravo, A. J., Braitman, A. L., Lawless, A. K., Lawrence, H. R. (2016). Behavioral couples treatment for substance use disorder: Secondary effects on the reduction of risk for child abuse. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 62, 10-19. doi: 10.1016/j.jsat.2015.11.008
The researchers of this article explored rates of abuse, after behavioral couples treatment (BCT), in couples in which both parents were diagnosed with substance abuse disorder. Overall substance use was also tracked. Researchers evaluated couples at various phases including: prior to treatment, post treatment, and 6-month post treatment assessment.
Researchers aimed to assess whether use of substances lowered, relationship satisfaction was increased, and theorized this would ultimately lower rates of child abuse. Ultimately, researchers discovered that the more BCT sessions couple attended, the higher their relationship satisfactory levels tended to be. This in turn correlated to lower rates of child abuse and higher levels of safety for the child. The overall findings suggest that BCT may have positive influences on substance-addicted parents and lowering their rates of child abuse. …show more content…
K., Joe, G. W., Crawley, R. D., Becan, J. E., Dansereau, D. F., Flynn, P. M. (2016). The effectiveness of the treatment readiness and induction program (TRIP) for improving during-treatment outcomes. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 62, 20-27. doi: 10.1016/j.jsat.2015.11.007
Researchers compared the effectiveness of Standard Operating Practice (SOP) versus SOP plus an 8-session Treatment Readiness and Induction Program (TRIP). Researchers sampled youth who were currently in residential treatment for substance use. Researchers also controlled for background characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, and gender.
Ultimately, researchers found that Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed higher problem recognition, decision making abilities, and engagement in treatment for though who were engaged in TRIP, as compared to those only in SOP. Ultimately researchers found that TRIP had positive effects for youth, that specifically positively impacted problem recognition, decision-making, and overall engagement with treatment.
