This pilot randomized trial tested the feasibility and efficacy of supplementing residential substance‐abuse treatment for new mothers with a brief, yet rigorous, attachment‐based parenting program. Twenty‐one predominantly (86%) White mothers and their infants living together in residential substance‐abuse treatment were randomly assigned to the program ( n = 11) or control ( n = 10) group. Program mothers received 10 home‐based sessions of Dozier's Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up (ABC) intervention. Postintervention observations revealed more supportive parenting behaviors among the randomly assigned ABC mothers.
