Individual and Family recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder

A study is being conducted by the Center for Addiction Recovery Research at Texas Tech University. We are conducting a research study on recovery experiences on family members of a loved-one with an alcohol use disorder as well as their loved-one with the alcohol use disorder. Those with an alcohol use disorder must have previously received inpatient or outpatient treatment in the last 24 months (2 years) and must be abstinent from alcohol or illicit drug use for the last 30 days. They must also be between 18-65 years of age.

 

Both family member and their loved-one with the alcohol use disorder would participate in this study, although participation can occur at different times. Family member participants must be a spouse or biological parent of their adult child with an alcohol use disorder. They must be between 18-65 years of age and have no substance dependence themselves. All participants will complete a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scan at the Texas Tech Neuroimaging Institute (TTNI), fill out some additional surveys and complete a behavioral task, lasting a total of approximately 65-80 minutes on Texas Tech campus. Qualifying participants will be compensated $25 for their time.
