Abstract

This article presents a narrative review and conceptual framework for research on family involvement across the continuum of substance use disorder (SUD) services for transition-age youth (ages 15-26). Though families are powerful resources for enhancing treatment and recovery success among youth with SUDs, they are not routinely included in clinical practice. This article summarizes youth SUD prevalence and service utilization rates and presents developmental and empirical rationale for increasing family involvement in services. It then describes key research issues on family involvement across the SUD services continuum: Problem Identification, Treatment Engagement, Active Treatment, Recovery Support. Within each phase, it highlights bedrock research findings and suggests promising opportunities for advancing the scientific knowledge base on family involvement. The main goals are to endorse family-oriented practices for immediate adoption in routine care and identify areas of research innovation that could significantly enhance the quality of youth SUD services.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Experts and emerging adults have indicated that parent, caregiver, and partner involvement should be offered, while simultaneously respecting the emerging adults' autonomy and independence, such as through separate programming.

    “Experts and emerging adults have also indicated that parent, caregiver, and partner involvement should be offered, while simultaneously respecting the emerging adults' autonomy and independence, such as through separate programming (6, 29, 56, 57).”

    From Initial insights from a quality improvement initiative to develop an evidence-informed young adult substance use program (2022) · cites this paper as [56]

    The Rationale section (page unavailable) says family involvement in youth substance-use care should account for growing independence and autonomy. Active Treatment > Intervention Delivery (page unavailable) calls for strategies involving caregivers and romantic partners. The passages do not establish that emerging adults themselves recommended offering that involvement, or recommend separate programming as the way to respect autonomy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
