• Transportation
• Childcare
• Employment conflicts
• Unsupportive Living Environments
• Unstable Living Environments
• Homelessness
• Partner with a Substance Use Disorder
• Stigma and/or Guilt
• Fear of losing the child
• Fear of incarceration
• Fear of being discovered about misusing substances (by family, employer, etc.)
