Implementation of family centered substance use treatment for pregnant and postpartum people to prevent the intergenerational transmission of adverse childhood experiences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Family-centered substance use treatment (FCSUT) may have benefits for parents, children, and their families, and have the potential to decrease adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Few treatment programs use FCSUT, even those that aim to serve pregnant and postpartum people.

Objectives

To understand how families are integrated into FCSUT services for pregnant and postpartum people, explore the perceived benefits of FCSUT for families and parents, and identify challenges to implementing FCSUT.

Participants and settings

Interviews with 26 administrators and providers working at FCSUT facilities and 27 pregnant and postpartum people who were currently receiving or had previously received services in the last two years from FCSUT facilities.
