Help children overcome the increasing dangers they face because of
their parents' addictions Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and
Families addresses the growing concern over children at risk of
developing physical and mental health problems because of their
parents' addictions to alcohol and other drugs (AOD), including a
chapter on the troubling increase of methamphetamine abuse by
parents. The book's contributors examine current research findings
from the United States, Australia, Ireland, and Israel to provide
much-needed insight into the effects of addiction on family
dynamics, parental attachment styles, and family characteristics.
The book also looks at the impact of addiction on school-aged
children and on mothers in residential treatment with their
children, survey assessment instruments and treatment outcomes, and
the value of Student Assistance Services for older children. Almost
25 percent of children in the United States live in a household
where a parent or other adult is a heavy or binge drinker. More
than 10 percent live in family where illicit drugs are used.
Children of alcoholics are nearly 10 times more likely to develop
an alcohol use disorder as other children, and often develop
behavior problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant
disorder. Children of illicit drug abusers are more likely than
other children to demonstrate immature, impulsive, or irresponsible
behavior, to have lower IQ scores, and poorer school attendance.
Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families focuses on these
critical and often ignored aspects of addiction, providing the
latest evidence-based qualitative and quantitative research
findings, as well as a summary of available literature. Impact of
Substance Abuse on Children and Families examines: the impact on
children at various developmental stages the role of the family as
a treatment resource alcohol problems and marriage parental

and family and children's studies.
