AI Article Synopsis
- - The study looked at how social support for alcohol/drug use and for abstinence affects self-efficacy in staying sober for 250 individuals coming out of inpatient substance use treatment.
- - Researchers used hierarchical linear regression to analyze the impact of these social influences on the participants' confidence in maintaining abstinence.
- - Results showed that while both types of social support were important individually, support for alcohol/drug use had a more significant negative impact on abstinence self-efficacy when considered together, especially for those recently involved in the justice system.
Article Abstract
Social influences (social support for alcohol/drug use and social support for abstinence) were examined in relation to abstinence self-efficacy among a sample of 250 justice involved persons exiting inpatient treatment for substance use disorders. Hierarchical linear regression was used to examine social influences in relation to abstinence self-efficacy. Social influences were significantly related to abstinence self-efficacy when examined independently. However, only social support for alcohol/drug use was significant when both social influences were entered into the model. Findings suggest social support for alcohol/drug use compromises abstinence social support, particularly among justice involved persons who are early in their recovery from substance use disorders.
