“…Recent research suggests that enhancing the parenting role may stimulate favorable drug treatment outcomes among IDU fathers participating in drug treatment (McMahon & Rounsaville, 2002;McMahon et al, , 2007McMahon et al, , 2008. The present analysis was designed to expand the literature by exploring the extent to which a parenting role that included residing with their children was associated with enhanced outcomes among IDU parents following an HIV-risk reduction intervention.…”

“…For example, after enrolling in drug treatment, an individual may become motivated to establish or reestablish healthier roles with family members and to withdraw from relationships that have supported less healthy roles that include HIV-risk behavior. Accordingly, researchers have begun to systematically examine whether motivation stemming from family relationships may be harnessed for the purpose of bolstering drug treatment outcomes (McMahon & Rounsaville, 2002;McMahon, Winkel & Rounsaville, 2008;McMahon, Winkel, Suchman & Luthar, 2002;McMahon, Winkel, Suchman & Rounsaville, 2007).…”

Studies that examine data from drug-abusing parents typically investigate the impact of parental behavior on their children's well-being and focus almost exclusively on the impact of mothers. Other approaches have examined the level of parental involvement among parents in drug treatment and find that a higher level of parental involvement is related to lower levels of addiction severity. Recent research examines the specific role of fathers and suggests that the promotion of responsible parenting may serve as a positive motivational influence among fathers participating in drug treatment. The present study investigated the influence of the living arrangement on improvements in HIV-risk reduction variables among 151 IDU parents who participated in the Community-friendly Health Recovery Program intervention. A gender×living arrangement interaction demonstrated greater enhancements in social and personal motivation to reduce HIV risk among fathers currently living with their children vs. fathers not living with their children while the opposite pattern of outcomes was demonstrated for mothers. Findings indicate that a parenting role that includes living with children may differentially influence parents' HIV-risk reduction motivation as a function of gender.

“…Deux constats spécifiques émergent des recherches portant sur ces pères et sur les pères consommateurs en traitement : 1) le partenaire est un élément d'influence dans la dynamique de consommation des femmes et des mères à la période périnatale (Morissette, Chouinard-Thompson, Devault et Rondeau, 2009;Klee, Jackson et Lewis, 2002;Twomey, 2007); 2) il y a peu de connaissances sur le rôle des pères ayant de jeunes enfants en contexte de consommation abusive de drogues (McMahon, Winkel, Suchman et Rounsaville, 2007a, 2007b. Généralement, quand on aborde la consommation chez les pères, les travaux disponibles touchent l'alcoolisme et ses effets chez les enfants d'âge scolaire et les adolescents (Das Eiden et Léonard, 2000;El-Sheikh et Flanagan, 2001;El-Sheikh et Buckhalt, 2003).…”

Malgré un nombre important d’études relatives à la thématique Parentalité alcool et drogue, le rôle du partenaire/père des mères consommatrices a été négligé. Le matériel présenté dans cet article est tiré d’une étude qualitative québécoise menée auprès de 20 pères et de 20 parturientes consommatrices abusives de SPA rencontrés à deux moments. Le but est de présenter le profil sociodémographique des parents, la consommation des mères dans les mois précédant la naissance de l’enfant, la consommation passée et actuelle des pères ainsi que certains éléments-clés de l’expérience parentale et conjugale des pères en contexte de consommation maternelle et de la trajectoire de consommation parentale.Despite a significant number of studies dealing with the theme of Parenthood, alcohol and drugs, the role of the paternal partner of consumer mothers has been neglected. The material presented in this article is taken from a Quebec qualitative study involving twenty fathers and twenty parturients with psychoactive substance abuse problems, and covers meetings with them at two different times. Our objective is to provide a sociodemographic profile of the parents, of maternal consumption in the pre-natal months, of previous and current paternal consumption levels, together with a number of key elements associated with the parental and conjugal experience of the fathers, both in the context of maternal consumption and of the parental consumer pattern

“…Ineffective parenting, and, in particular, harsh parenting (Robertson et al, 2008;Conners-Burrow et al, 2013) and lack of parental monitoring (Molina et al, 2010) are seen as important predictors of negative outcomes in the child (Burlew et al, 2013;McMahon, Winkel, & Rounsaville, 2008;Vitaro et al, 2008). Also, both comorbid mental disorders (Hussong, Flora, Curran, Chassin, & Zucker, 2008;Peleg-Oren & Teichman, 2006) and the number of other family members with substance abuse problems are often related to psychopathology in CSAP (Diaz et al, 2008;Molina et al, 2010;Hill et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:The entrance of parents into substance abuse treatment provides a unique opportunity to discuss parenting with them, and to inquire about the psychological wellbeing of their children. This is important because parental substance abuse is associated with an increased risk for the development of mental health problems in children. In this study, clients from a Dutch outpatient treatment facility who had custody of or regular contact with their children completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) about their children aged 4 to 17 years (N = 99), after being referred to a parenting consultation with a specialized professional. Compared to other studies conducted in Western Europe and Australia with similar at-risk populations, the SDQ results in the present study suggested a lower percentage of children with psychosocial problem behavior. Still, 29% of the children in our sample showed psychosocial problems in the clinical range. According to logistic regression analyses, which tested associations between client and family characteristics and risk of psychosocial problems, 5 factors (client's gender, education level, presence of financial debts, child's age, and absence of siblings) were associated with a higher likelihood of one or more types of psychosocial problems. Present findings suggest that, of children whose substance-abusing parents enter outpatient treatment, almost one third may have psychosocial problems that require further assessment and treatment.

Drug abuse and responsible fathering: a comparative study of men enrolled in methadone maintenance treatment

Abstract: The findings highlight ways that drug abuse contributes to compromise of responsible fathering, and they raise questions about ways that the drug abuse treatment system might better address parenting as a treatment issue for men.
