Abstract |
Alcohol addiction (alcoholism) is a global phenomenon with important
physical, psychological, familial, cultural, social and economic implications. Several
studies during the last years have been done in order to study features of the treatment
process that may increase therapeutic effectiveness. Of particular interest is the fact
that self- and mutual-help groups have been positively related to the treatment
effectiveness, and more specifically in measurement of parameters such as reduction
of alcohol use, alcohol abstinence and improvement of psychosocial functionality of
alcohol addicted persons. On the other hand, involvement of the family with alcohol
related problems in the therapeutic process seems to be a determining factor in the
positive outcome of this process.
The aim of this quantitative research study was to investigate the effectiveness
of family involvement in the treatment of alcohol addicted persons in terms of
abstinence days, relapses, average time participating in the mutual-help family
communities, quality of life and life satisfaction. Additionally, parameters of quality
of life and life satisfaction were investigated among family members of the alcohol
addicts involved in the treatment.
The sample of alcohol addicts consisted of 40 persons, divided for the purpose
of the study in two groups, according to the presence or not of at least one member of
their family participating at the treatment process. There were also studied 20 persons,
members of families of alcohol addicts, participating in mutual-help family
communities or at the treatment process of their alcoholic relatives. Alcohol addicts
whose relatives participated in the treatment had statistically significant lower average
alcohol consumption ,more average time participating in the mutual-help family
communities than the others, lower relapse rate and more mean abstinence time than
addicts without participating family members. Furthermore, significantly higher
scores of life satisfaction and quality of life were found for addicts with participating
relatives.
Family members participating in the treatment process or in mutual-help
family communities scored high in life satisfaction as well as in all quality of life
domains. In conclusion, in this study it was found that the participation of family
members in the treatment process significantly improves long term parameters of
treatment, life satisfaction and quality of life.
