虽然药物滥用治疗界认识到，有药物滥用成员的家庭普遍存在身体和心理问题，但用于药物滥用者家庭综合治疗的第三方资金有限。如果不对药物滥用对家庭的这些附带影响提供治疗，就会降低药物滥用治疗的疗效，增加复发的风险，并使家庭成员中的继发性疾病得不到治疗。本文提出了一个审查的医疗保健利用和成本抵消研究的附带影响，药物滥用的家庭，以帮助管理人员和规划人员在记录的经济优势，综合治疗药物滥用者的家庭。
Although the substance abuse treatment community recognizes that physical and psychological problems are common among families with a substance-abusing member, third-party funding for comprehensive treatment of the families of substance abusers is limited. Failure to provide treatment for these collateral effects of substance abuse on the family is thought to reduce the efficacy of substance abuse treatment, increase the risk of relapse, and leave untreated secondary pathology among family members. This article presents a review of health care utilization and cost-offset studies of the collateral effects of substance abuse on the family to aid administrators and planners in documenting the economic advantages of comprehensive treatment for the families of substance abusers.
