Abusing illicit drugs and substances leads to violent behavior,
depression and negative coping skills. Worldwide,200 million people
are illicit drug or substance abusers. Ten million US children are
raised by addicted parents and yearly 30,000 European pregnant
women use opioids. Physical, psychological and emotional challenges
threaten relationships between a mother with low self- efficacy and
her infant, leading to insecure attachments. This monograph
provides information on how peer teaching infant massage increases
the recovering mother's belief of being a better parent and feeling
more connected with her infant. Using infant massage as a
therapeutic tool develops a healthy infant and nurtures a more
positive relationship between mother and infant. Worldwide
healthcare professionals, social workers, and educators can develop
programs that cultivate environments where recovering addicts can
peer teach and create a support system with each other.This work
contributes to existing literature promoting evidence-based
practice in drug rehab centers. Development of infant massage
training programs for staff members can insure continual maternal
infant success.
