This document discusses the importance of involving families in substance abuse treatment. It notes that families are clients with their own support and treatment needs, and that working with families helps the substance user in treatment and motivates seeking treatment. It outlines barriers to family inclusion and ReGen's clinical practice guidelines calling for family-inclusive care. ReGen's programs and services that involve families are described, including playgroups, support groups, counseling, and family evenings.

- Historically, the individual has always been seen as the ‘client’ in AOD work Families have often been understood as part of the ‘problem’ behind someone’s problematic substance use, rather than an essential part of recovery Notions of confidentiality and privacy have often excluded families from being engaged in treatment Implementation fo family inclusive work requires more than training, it requires support at every level and supportive processes and infrastructure – it canno

This is a statewide service available to current clients and their families or just their families or families accessing support in their own right.

- The Bouverie Centre was funded to roll out training for Family Inclusive Practice to the AOD sector and Gambling Help and later to the Mental Health sector. One of the methods used to introduce clinicians to working with families was Single Session Family Work (SSFW), previously referred to as Single Session Work (SSW). In 1994 in response to long waiting lists for family therapy, the Bouverie Family Therapy Centre (BFTC) began researching the effectiveness of single session therapy. Encouraged by the work of Moshe Talmon in the USA implemented a study with 36 families to discover if this treatment style would be effective in reducing waiting lists and successful client outcomes. The results were promising and led to widespread implementation of SSW not only at the Bouverie Centre but in a variety of clinical contexts. (Boyhan, 1996) SSFW does not require the therapist to operate from a particular model of treatment and does not require the practitioner to be family therapy trained. SSFW is based on three empirical findings: that one treatment session is usual, that it is difficult to predict which clients will attend only one and that one session attendees do not necessarily represent drop-outs but more often satisfied customers. (Boyhan, 1996) One finding is becoming clear: the modal frequency of clients attending counselling services is 1, irrespective of therapeutic model, problem severity, or client diagnosis (Talmon, 1990; Bloom, 2001; Boyhan, 1996; Weir et al., 2007). Whilst surprising, this must be considered seriously if service systems are to align with client behaviour. A second consistent finding is that, when followed up, the majority of these clients have been satisfied with the one contact. Thirdly, largely from clinical experience, it is almost impossible to predict who will elect one session and who needs and will want more. The underlying principle of this treatment is that longevity of therapy does not necessarily point to better client outcomes than connection and presence with a client in a single therapeutic encounter in an active and focused session.
