Abstract
Opioid misuse and abuse is a serious problem in the United States. In 2019, more than 10 million people misused opioids. Responding to it has been difficult due to the multiplicity of its causes. Caregivers for those suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD) have been identified as an integral part of the recovery process. To maintain the important role that they play, caregiver quality of life must be investigated to provide the necessary physical, financial, and emotional support to their loved ones. This thesis seeks to evaluate caregiver burden and provide a training program that connects them to resources to improve their overall quality of life. The results of the literature review indicate that the caregiver burden is not defined in the context of OUD. Additional research on caregiver burden and health outcomes could further advance our ability to address the overall opioid crisis.
