COMPARISON ON FAMILY-BASED REHABILITATION AND INDIVIDUAL BASED: EFFECT ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

This proposed research aims to discover the success of sobriety with rehabilitation programs, specifically those that are family based as compared to individual based. This research will also investigate the measures taken within these rehabilitation programs to prevent generational substance abuse problems. Social workers will benefit from this research by discovering how these programs are successful and if any changes could be made to increase the success rates for those struggling with substance abuse. This research will also allow social workers to develop new strategies to assist in preventing generational substance abuse within families. This study will include interviewing individuals that have completed or partially completed a rehabilitation program that was family based and individuals that completed or partially completed a rehabilitation program that was individual based. The data will be interpreted from focus groups conducted via Zoom meetings.
