What is being tested?

It compares EFT against Episodic Recent Thinking (ERT) to see which better enhances parent-child relationships.See study design
What are the potential side effects?

Active Control
Group I: Episodic Future Thinking (EFT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Parents who are receiving residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment will receive an adapted episodic future thinking focused condition. Parents will meet with peer recovery coaches (PRCs) who will administer the intervention, focused on generating future, pleasant milestones with their children. The participant will also be allowed to draw or write about the scene, to help them envision it, which they will keep to refer to if they choose. After the intervention session, PRCs will check-in with parents daily over the course of two weeks to practice episodic future thinking (EFT) intervention by asking participants to further elaborate on the milestones they identified in the intervention to prompt these episodes in vivid detail.
Group II: Episodic Recent Thinking (ERT)Active Control1 Intervention
Parents who are receiving residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment will receive an adapted episodic recent thinking intervention.

During the intervention, the participant will be asked to describe in detail two things they struggled with and two things that went well that occurred during the last few days. The participant will also be allowed to draw or write about the scene, to help them envision it, which they will keep to refer to if they choose.
