Abstract

This study examined the status of children and the types of support available from children as reported by women in substance abuse treatment. Findings indicate that children are viewed as sources of social support to women on treatment. Children were viewed as providing as much sobriety support to respondents as that provided by adult network members. In addition, both children living with the respondent and children in the care of others were viewed as providers of specific types of social support. Implications are drawn for practice and research.
