| dc.description.abstract | People recovering from a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) face a myriad of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. Parents in recovery may also face the additional burden of mandatory participation in multiple community agencies including the Department of Human Services, Community Justice Parole and Probation offices, and medical treatment. The Oasis Center of the Rogue Valley is a nonprofit primary clinic that specializes in treating parents and families who are affected by drug dependency. The Oasis Center recognizes the need for centralized care amongst parents in recovery who participate in multiple agencies. They have created a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) to help coordinate care for people in recovery who participate in two or more community agencies. My research question asks: does the Oasis Center of the Rogue Valley’s MDT program improve the lives of people recovering from Substance Use Disorder with their multi-disciplinary team? Structured interviews and online surveys were conducted with 14 current and past MDT participants. My analysis shows that the majority of the MDT participants who responded believed the MDT increased their chances of maintaining long-term recovery and has improved their recovery thus far. My study concludes that the MDT helps parents in recovery and measures should be taken to increase the number of MDT’s utilized to treat people in recovery. | en_US |
