The Family Involvement in Recovery Support and Treatment (FIRST) Research Network is a multidisciplinary collaborative dedicated to promoting family integration in treatment and recovery services for youth with substance use disorders.
SafeLocator allows state health agencies to better serve the public with a searchable database of approved addiction treatment and surrounding support services.
We provide training to practitioners serving families affected by substance use and related behavior problems such as ADHD. Training focuses on increased family involvement, enhanced family relational and coping skills, and facilitating education on medication use.
