Research shows that relationships play a vital role in parents’ long-term substance use disorder recovery and that comprehensive treatment that addresses the complex needs of families is an essential component to successful treatment completion. No single system can achieve better outcomes for families affected by substance use disorders on its own. Many states, communities, and providers find it difficult to identify and coordinate all available funding for the benefit of families. Effective partnerships across systems and at varying levels between tribes, states, local government agencies, and community service providers have proven to be the most effective way to fund comprehensive family-centered treatment.
