Abstract

Objective The escalating challenges of drug and alcohol abuse underscore the critical need to prioritize Addiction-Affected Family members (AAFs), who face diverse health consequences and complex challenges. This study focuses on Addiction-Affected Mothers (AAMs) and their coping strategies during their child’s substance abuse, aiming to explore their experiences during both the Addiction and recovery periods. Materials & Methods Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), nine AAMs, whose children had completed recovery, participated in semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling ensured firsthand insights, with data analysis following IPA principles, including coding, categorization, and interpretation. Trustworthiness was maintained through member checking, peer debriefing, and ethical considerations. Results The data analysis and the codes extracted from the interviews revealed four main themes and 14 subthemes. The four main themes extracted from the data included 1. Social Isolation, 2. The Swamp Trails, 3. The Continuum of Injuries, and 4. The Pursuit of Freedom. The first three main themes contained 11 sub-themes reflecting the Mothers’ experiences caused by their child’s Addiction, and the fourth theme, containing 3 sub-themes, comprised of countermeasures and effective mechanisms employed to overcome Addiction-caused problems. Conclusion The study provides evidence-based insights for enhanced services and policies targeting Addiction-Affected Mothers, who often initiate responses within families. Specialized interventions are crucial to address their unique needs and those of their families, minimizing the direct and indirect effects of Addiction. Encouraging AAMs’ participation in support sessions is vital for ongoing coping. Effective resources and strategies can facilitate long-term recovery for both individuals with substance abuse and their families, contributing to a deeper understanding of familial dynamics affected by Addiction.
