Importance of the Family System

According Myers & Salt (2019):

A family system with one or more member living with SUD often has its own definitions of the way families are supposed to be, such as what constitutes a “good child” or a “normal marriage.” Families may hold sharply contrasting views of what constitutes “good and “normal.” (p. 132)

For this discussion, please answer the following questions.

  • How would you integrate the family into an outpatient program at a community agency? What would be your rationale for providing this service?
    • What options for cultural differences would be built into the family treatment option at your treatment center?
    • What theoretical approach would be most effective for a family treatment option, while integrating best practices? Please cite references.
