Abstract
Background: Substance Use Disorder (SUD) affects occupational performance in activities throughout an individual’s daily life (Rojo-Mota et al. 2017). Ten percent of Americans have had a SUD at some point in their lives (National Institute of Health, 2020). In 2018, there were 67,367 drug overdose deaths that occurred in the United States (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify what occupational performance problems (OPP) are typically identified by individuals receiving treatment for SUD, and to track any changes in perceived performance and satisfaction in these OPP’s during their time in SUD treatment, as measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM).
Methods: Twelve individuals in a substance use recovery center volunteered to complete COPM’s.
Results: Nineteen OPP’s were identified across multiple areas of dysfunction including social-emotional, mental health, self-help, and life skill areas. Findings also showed that those participating in occupational therapy within their recovery program increased in both performance and satisfaction areas surrounding OPP’s.
