“…This suggests that the health, mental health, and wellness implications go far beyond the youth to influence families and broader social networks. [57][58][59] This analysis identified three dynamic factors that influence the resources and support caregivers provide to their youth leaving residential treatment: OUD understandings and expectations, relationships, and emotional toll.

Background and Aims Despite the considerable literature associating certain characteristics of caregivers and family structures with risks of adolescent/young adult (youth) substance use, there has been little study of the role of caregivers in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment outcomes. This qualitative study sought to understand and contextualize the factors that influenced the resources caregivers provided their youth after residential treatment. Methods In order to improve understandings of the role caregivers play both during and after residential OUD treatment, 31 caregivers of youth who were in a residential substance use disorder treatment center were interviewed at baseline, three-months, and six-months following their youth's discharge. Results This analysis focused on the provision of caregiver resources and identified three key influences – OUD understandings and expectations, relationships with youth, and the emotional toll on caregivers. This has important implications as residential treatment success rates are relatively low among this population. Conclusions These findings suggest that engagement of caregivers and families in outpatient care following residential treatment could offer an important opportunity for interventions that promote youth recovery.
