The study talks about how women can become addicted to food and other things. The 229 female PTSD patients who took part in the study were put into groups based on whether they also had an eating disorder, a drug use disorder, or neither. All of the information used in the study came from surveys and questionnaires that the authors made. This data included information about trauma, diet, emotional eating, drug use, and demographics. The study found that women who had been addicted to drugs or food in the past had similar symptoms and had trouble controlling their emotions (Hardy et al., 2018). The research shows that the same part of the brain is involved in both drug and food addiction. This research showed how my early addiction to food set the stage for my current problems with drug abuse. From this article, I’ve come to the conclusion that my tendency to binge eat was a precursor to other addictions. The study shows that using illegal drugs can lead to addiction in the same way that food can. This knowledge is useful because it helps us come up with better ways to protect children.

The study looks at drug abuse, which is known to break up families and make it harder for parents to pay attention to their kids. By building drug courts, more and more states are trying to change how they deal with drug crimes. Programs that use this method use both punishment and therapy to try to change the people who are in trouble. The author uses a specific example from a drug court to explain in general terms how this type of intervention is run in institutions. The author explains how the “family framework,” the idea that clients are like children and “grow up” in the sense of the initiative, is central to the values, social standards, and processes of drug court professionals. This is based on ethnographic observation of the court’s evaluation, interviews with program experts, and analysis of files and media accounts (Gordon, 2018). The family structure was built on the ideas of dependency and deservingness, which were based on race and class. This way, the court could serve mostly white and middle-class clients, since these conceptual frameworks had a lot to do with how people chose and finished programs. The author says that this case shows how states can control and limit access to their programs to a small group of citizens.

This research aimed to learn more about the challenges faced by families dealing with parental substance use disorders (SUDs) and homelessness, as well as their perspectives on the supports available to them. The study’s participants reported high levels of trauma, guilt, and apprehension about disclosing substance use disorders (Ijadi-Maghsoodi et al., 2019). Difficulties were also identified in the study’s focus areas of communication, discussions of substance use, and family and youth goal setting, all of which are crucial to preventing SUDs. It was also revealed distinct pressures associated with navigating housing and services within the community. Our findings highlight the necessity for a family-based SUD-preventive intervention for youth growing up in homes with parental SUDs and suffering homelessness to address the heightened SUD risk. Moreover, our research can help improve clinical and housing services for this vital group.

Substance misuse among parents has far-reaching and devastating effects on children. Housing insecurity is just one of the many dangers these young people face. Substance abuse among parents is a major risk factor for a child not living with one of their biological parents. While studies demonstrate that these young people are more likely to encounter housing insecurity, very little is known about their actual lived experiences in housing (Lewis et al., 2021). Youth who have experienced parental substance abuse has been exposed to the toxic stress and trauma of a lack of stable housing. When young people’s lives are complicated by multiple traumatic events, they must have access to safe, stable, and dependable housing options. To better understand the effects of adverse childhood experiences, researchers should investigate how to incorporate housing variables into ACEs measures. An increase in housing assistance for families with children would be supported by the findings of such a study, which might also provide light on the stress experienced by marginalized groups.

The study is about conducting a training program for the parents as a strategy to prevent child abuse and neglect that is known to emerge due to various reasons, including illicit drug abuse. Training intervention has been shown to be working significantly in preparing parents to handle things with moderation for the sake of their children to avoid ruining their future (Sahillioglu & Akman, 2021). The study also shows that the program is working significantly and has a permanent impact on the targeted parents where they would prioritize on the interest of their children. It was evident in the study that positive and lasting effects on the awareness and understanding of parenting would help society move forward.
