How Do We Know What Works?
Three family-centered approaches have shown great potential for success:
- Parent and Family Skills Training teaches parents how to enhance protective factors and reduce risk factors tied to substance abuse.
- Family In-Home Support provides crisis intervention (such as food, clothing and shelter) and long-range training to help solve the problems that caused the crisis.
- Family Therapy helps family members improve the way they relate and talk to one another, the way they manage family life, and the way they solve problems.
