Thesis (D.S.W.)--Capella University, 2023.

Deinstitutionalization and community inclusion have substantial benefits, particularly for those with intellectual disabilities, in several ways. However, reintegration into the community has exposed individuals with mild and borderline intellectual disabilities to social and environmental pressures such as illicit substance use. Although there is an awareness of substance use disorders in those with intellectual disabilities, there remains a lack of effective treatment strategies for this population. This research asked two questions, how do social workers identify substance use among their consumers with mild or borderline intellectual disabilities, and what do social workers currently use as an intervention for their consumers who use illicit substances. Current treatment modalities are designed for those without intellectual disabilities, and professionals in the field of addiction are rarely exposed to or trained on the ranges of intellectual disabilities. This study used action research to examine a foundation for social work interventions that would address substance use in those with intellectual disabilities and propose a practical approach to address this issue. The participants of this study were social workers from the fields of addiction and intellectual disabilities and case managers from the field of intellectual disabilities. There was a total of nine participants for this study. Semi-structured interviews were used in this study, and the data was analyzed using the Percy et al. (2015) model of inductive analysis. Identified barriers to effective treatment included the lack of requisite knowledge about the ranges and types of intellectual disabilities, the reluctance of professionals to learn about intellectual disabilities, and the assumption that those with intellectual disabilities do not use illicit substances. This study proposed recommendations based on the research findings to address this gap in substance use treatment for those with mild and borderline intellectual disabilities.
