摘要

This study explored the experiences of postpartum individuals in early substance use disorder (SUD) recovery and key aspects of their social networks using the Socioecological Model (SEM). We conducted a qualitative study of 22 postpartum individuals (< 1 year since delivery) in residential SUD treatment from July to November 2023. Transcribed, audio-recorded interviews were analyzed using Atlas.ti, with findings organized by SEM levels. Participants, primarily White (81.8%), single (86.3%), and living below the poverty line (81.8%), reported opioid (40.1%) and stimulant (81.8%) use disorders. Challenges spanned SEM levels, including navigating parenthood, accessing trauma-informed care, and overcoming structural barriers such as housing instability, transportation, and childcare access. Findings underscore the need for family-centered, trauma-informed recovery programs and flexible policies addressing childcare and social service barriers to support long-term recovery and maternal well-being.
