Abstract

This paper reports a qualitative intervention research that utilized narrative inquiry instrument to
explore the interface of substance abuse issues, disciplinary dilemmas and family involvement at
a private university in Nigeria. Under the framework of the primary socialization theory, results
show that parental involvement, reactions and anticipated consequences were significant factors
in substance abuse treatment and prevention among university students. The extended family also
emerged as a protective factor for the development of substance abuse behavior amongst university
students. This study presents the Family University Substance Abuse Treatment (FUST) as viable
guidelines for a collaborative work with families of university students involved with substance
abuse. It is a response to the unique Nigerian dilemma of enrolling students in late adolescence
into the adult environment of tertiary institutions and dealing with ensuing deviant behaviours
such as substance abuse.
