Summary

This trial tests whether adding a relational health enhanced parenting support (RHEP) program to standard family-focused peer recovery services helps parents with substance use disorders. The study compares outcomes like parenting satisfaction, treatment retention, and substance use reduction between parents receiving standard services and those receiving the enhanced support. Peer recovery specialists will also receive additional training and consultation to improve how they deliver parenting support.
