The Brain

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic medical condition with relapses and remissions, and it has a strong genetic component. Risk for relapse increases with continued use because changes to the brain neurocircuitry pathways created by extensive substance use do not completely revert to normal after detoxification or stopping substance use. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is used for addiction to alcohol, opioids, or nicotine and is usually offered in combination with behavioral therapy and/or mutual support program participation. Medications can play a major role in facilitating initial abstinence, reducing relapse risk, and increasing the likelihood of the client maintaining longer periods of abstinence. Behavioral interventions can influence clients to use MAT in their recovery and influence adherence and impact on retention.

Purpose: This study focuses on a campus support program that serves former child welfare and homeless youth. This study aims to identify the program elements that help students transition into and succeed in college. Method: This study uses a mixed-method approach. Quantitative data included administrative and survey data of 50 students. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the effects of early engagement on students’ grade point averages (GPAs). Qualitative data were collected from interviews with 17 students. Thematic content analysis was used to identify themes from the qualitative data. Results: Quantitative data showed positive effects of early engagement on students’ GPAs. Qualitative data showed that students perceived that the campus support program helped them transition into and success in college. Conclusions: Future programs should emphasize providing academic and financial services and engaging students as soon as or even before they enroll into college.
