We open this issue with articles on trauma. Stones & Dennis assessed the relationship of childhood trauma and treatment outcomes in adults with substance use disorders using clinical data mining. Family history of substance use was found significantly related to both neglect and childhood trauma. Age at admission and program completion were also significantly related. Branson and colleagues presented a mixed methods study that found the need for client safety, individualization of interventions and client choice important for positive treatment outcomes in trauma-informed care. There is recognition of the need for increased physical and emotional rest in clients in residential treatment facilities as part of their trauma treatment. The next section focuses on behavior in people with alcohol and substance use disorders. Yazici & Akhan conducted a semi-structured individual interview schedule to explore sexual problems among people with alcohol use disorder. Themes of perceptions of sexuality, difficulties in sexual relations, barriers to medical support for sexual problems, and help-seeking behaviors were elaborated using a descriptive and phenomenological design. Sexual problems associated with loss of libido, arousal, impotence, and orgasm were reported. Their findings support the importance of sexuality among their subjects with alcohol use disorder. Meshesha and peers held virtual focus group sessions with participants who have alcohol use disorder and endorsed substance-free activities as a key aid to successful recovery. While motivation for initial engagement in substance-free activities may be from external sources such as a therapist, continued participation in these activities are linked more to personal, intrinsic motives. These findings support the necessity of substance-free activities, particularly those related to self-care, social connections, service and creative outlets, in the early recovery period. The next two articles look at college age individuals with alcohol use disorders as a special population. Using data from a national online sample, Khauli, Haas, et al. found college students at-risk for alcohol use disorder pre-COVID had the greatest increase in consumption during the pandemic.

ABSTRACT Using data from a national online sample, the current study examined factors impacting changes in alcohol use immediately following the WHO pandemic declaration (March 2020), including pre-COVID risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Participants with pre-COVID AUD risk, who experienced at least one COVID-related problem (e.g. housing, finances), demonstrated the greatest increase in weekly drinking. However, college students at-risk for AUD pre-COVID, with academic disruptions, showed the greatest consumption increases. The findings provide insight into the complex relationships between COVID-19 related disruptions, preexisting AUD risk, and their impact on risky drinking during a critical period in the pandemic. Implications for future public health prevention and intervention responses are discussed.

ABSTRACT Alcohol use disorder affects various body systems and gives rise to sexual problems. Our aim in this qualitative study was to increase the visibility of the sexual problems and related life experiences of men receiving treatment at an Alcohol and Substance Dependency Treatment and Education Center (Turkish acronym, AMATEM) for alcohol use disorder. Methods: The study was conducted over the period February-April 2022 on the basis of a descriptive and phenomenological design; data were collected in semi-structured individual interviews held with the participants. Results: In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen male patients of a mean age of 36.58 ± 6.25 who were being treated for a diagnosis of alcohol use disorder. We determined four ongoing themes in the study: perceptions of sexuality, difficulties in sexual relations, barriers to receiving medical support for sexual problems, and help-seeking behaviors. Conclusion: Our findings showed that the participants believed that sexuality was a need and that when they indulged in alcohol, they experienced a loss of libido, had problems in becoming aroused, had long-lasting problems with ejaculation, impotence, and difficulty with orgasm.

ABSTRACT Student recovery programs are an emerging trend across university campuses in Canada, yet little is known about the experiences of students who utilize these programs. Canada’s first student recovery program launched in 2019, with six additional launching shortly thereafter. The current study offers a first look at the student experience in recovery programs at the first Canadian institutions to offer recovery support on campus. We used qualitative methods to examine individual recovery trajectories, program participation, stigma, barriers to recovery on campus, and the impact of a campus-based recovery program on various areas of their lives. Our findings highlight three main themes: (i) inclusivity and diversity of the programs, (ii) increasing recovery capital and dimensions of well-being, and (iii) reducing barriers to recovery on campus. The results inform how Canadian student recovery programs meet the needs of their students and identify areas for improvement using a recovery-informed lens to center the lived experiences of students in recovery. Findings from this initial study may drive the development of future student recovery programs at Canadian institutions and inform new initiatives by existing programs outside of Canada.

ABSTRACT Using clinical data mining (CDM) methodology, this study evaluates the relationship between childhood trauma and treatment outcomes among adults with substance use disorders. Data come from three substance use treatment facilities operating under the same agency using the same treatment program (N = 444). We examined the influence of childhood trauma, neglect, and school violence on substance use treatment completion and length of stay. We also looked at the connection between client’s family history of substance use and their experience of neglect and childhood trauma. We found that family history of substance use was significantly related to both neglect and childhood trauma. We also found that the number of weeks a client spent in treatment was associated treatment location. Furthermore, client age at admission and program completion were significantly related. Marital status, sex, and number of diagnoses significantly related to childhood trauma. These findings suggest that comprehensive assessments that focus on understanding client demographics and history of family substance use can guide effective intervention. Further research on how childhood trauma influences substance use treatment outcomes can also help improve treatment.

ABSTRACT With the increase in social service agencies providing trauma-informed care (TIC) as part of their holistic approach to client care, evidence of effective practices has emerged. This research study explores clients’ requests for real-time rest in residential treatment facilities as a part of their trauma treatment. The article will discuss the intricacies of co-occurring issues and trauma, prevalence, and further complicating issues of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), the neurology of trauma that is indicative of the need for increased physical and emotional rest, and the tenets of TIC principles that emphasize the need for client safety, individuality in interventions, and client choice for positive treatment outcomes. The results from a mixed methods design involving participants from substance use disorder (SUD) treatment facilities (n = 47) and themes concerning desired real-time rest will be reviewed, as well as implications for residential treatment facilities providing TIC.

ABSTRACT Alcohol-related liver disease, in the context of incurable alcohol dependency, is a terminal disease. Liver specialists are accustomed to watching patients die, both young and old, and this may erode their perceived primary responsibility to extend life. It is common for nihilism to set in, with the risk that this colors the assessment of future patients. This opinion article explores this phenomenon through representative, anonymized cases and the author’s own psychological response. He proposes that therapeutic positivity must be maintained, and that a refreshed attitude to patient care can be found through the acceptance that patients in this cohort are terminally ill, thus invoking the need to consider and access palliative care. Hepatologists must continue to find a balance between advocating for an aggressive approach to therapy (e.g. escalation to critical care, transplantation) in selected cases, while being poised to recommend supportive and palliative pathways when there are indicators of futility. To provide this, hepatologists may require upskilling later in their careers. Embracing palliative care is clearly of benefit to patients, and this article identifies it as way of maintaining engagement among doctors.

ABSTRACT Interest in recovery capital has been growing and there have been increased attempts to quantify this concept. The current paper uses the REC-CAP, a standardized assessment of recovery capital, to predict retention across multiple recovery residence settings and quantify changes in recovery capital and barriers to recovery over the initial period of residence. The REC-CAP was administered by peer navigators at admission and at 90-day intervals thereafter in recovery residences in Virginia, US. Strong effects predicting retention, changes in barriers and recovery capital growth were reported based on risk-taking and addressing acute housing concerns. The strongest effects predicting retention in recovery residences were for people not using substances and not being Black or African American. Reducing barriers to recovery and to improving recovery capital focused on avoiding ongoing substance use, lack of support needs around accommodation, higher psychological wellbeing and measures associated with social support and quality of life. There is a need to develop a holistic, tailored package of support for people in recovery residents to address these core concerns.

differences between Oxford House recovery home residents with and without psychiatric comorbidities. The researchers reported that unique interdepen-dencies exist among individuals with psychiatric comorbidity for advice seeking, loaning, and recovery factor scores. Recovery homes are filled with social dynamics. In this study, the authors describe the emergence of components from a dynamic systems theory and provide a deeper explanation of how Oxford House recovery homes promote long-term recovery.

ABSTRACT Treatment courts have been part of the criminal justice system for nearly three-and-a-half decades. The first treatment court, an adult drug court, began in 1989 in Florida, and due to the success of drug courts in reducing criminal recidivism rates, the intervention has evolved to address other problems and populations, such as veterans treatment courts (VTCs) and family treatment courts (FTCs). Treatment courts have been credited with promoting criminal justice reform, as they offer a rehabilitative approach to justice, as compared to historical punitive models. Research, however, has consistently shown that racial and ethnic minorities have lower completion rates in some treatment courts than their white counterparts. This study is the first statewide evaluation to use the Racial and Ethnic Disparities (RED) Program Assessment Tool to assess for racial and ethnic disparities in programming across several types of treatment courts (n = 30). Results showed that 64.9% of white participants completed treatment court, whereas all other races had completion rates less than 30.0%. Implications for treatment court practice are discussed in reference to staff training, the quality of treatment participants receive for substance use and mental health disorders, future research, and other key components of the treatment court model.

This study is the first statewide evaluation to use the Racial and Ethnic Disparities (RED) Program Assessment Tool to assess for racial and ethnic disparities in programming across several types of treatment courts (n = 30). Results showed that 64.9% of white participants completed treatment court, whereas all other races had completion rates less than 30.0%. Implications for treatment court practice are discussed in reference to staff training, the quality of treatment participants receive for substance use and mental health disorders, future research, and other key components of the treatment court model.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"41 1","pages":"149 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47745310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
