About This Substance Use Disorder Study in Springfield

Mothers with substance use disorders face unprecedented stress in their roles as parents working to care for their children while maintaining healthy recovery. Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO) is the first attachment-based parenting intervention designed specifically for mothers in recovery from substance use disorders that has been shown to have benefit for both mother and child in multiple randomized controlled trials. This project will: (a) test the effectiveness of MIO among women in outpatient treatment under 'real-world' conditions, (b) evaluate implementation in different settings, and (c) assess key implementation factors to support optimal uptake and treatment in future dissemination studies; closing an important science-to-service gap for an underserved population in an effort to support maternal and child health simultaneously.
