Area of Science:

Addiction research
Public health policy
Family support systems

Background:

Empirical evidence highlights benefits of carer involvement for families and services.
Drug policy increasingly promotes carer engagement at all service levels.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the purpose and scope of carer involvement in adult drug services.
Focus on North-east Scotland's service provision.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study involving 82 participants (carers, service providers, policymakers).
Data collected through 8 focus groups and 32 interviews (2007-2008).

Main Results:

Carer involvement described as limited, unplanned, and unstructured.
Key activities included information, advice, emotional/practical support, and signposting.
The term 'carer' was contested; caring in a drug context is 'same but different'.
Skepticism regarding services' willingness to involve or support carers; involvement often seen as an aspiration.

Conclusions:

Shared understanding of 'caring' in a drug context is vital for policy-to-practice translation.
Drug services must expand the range and level of involvement opportunities for carers.
