“It’s because they’re my kids, and I love them”: Substance use disorders’ impact on children and families: A secondary analysis
The study highlights the significant impact of family and community on the resilience of individuals affected by SUD. It emphasizes the importance of developing addictions services and social environments that are supportive of families with young children and supports the need for services that are substance-free, inclusive, and welcoming to children. Additionally, there is a need to improve service navigation and reduce barriers to care commonly experienced by parents affected by SUD.
