The inheritance of family substance use disorders is often a combination of genetic factors and environmental circumstances. It can be a destructive force in families and makes recovery difficult for the individual. The focus of this seminar will be on the impact of family substance use, co-occurring disorders, generational views regarding the use of substances, preferences of substances by age groups, co-dependency, and the misuse of prescription and OTC medications. Assessment tools and interventions strategies will be covered.

 At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Discuss the Family Systems Theory and how it may influence generational substance use
• Explain the various roles the substance disordered family members assume in the family system
• Identify common co-occurring disorders among individuals who have a substance use disorder
• Discuss differing generational views about the use of prescription drugs, over the counter medications and illicit substances
• Identify treatment strategies for the individual and the family
