Family members of people with serious alcohol or drug problems are negatively affected by the behaviour and problems of their substance misusing relative. This article reports on a feasibility study, to test whether a intervention successful in the UK, aimed at helping family members of people with alcohol or drug problems (the 5-Step Intervention), would also be applicable in Italy. Results found it is feasible to deliver this intervention in Italy. Materials were successfully translated and back-translated and were deemed relevant for an Italian context; different health services organizations and their staff were recruited to participate; 52 family members were recruited and received the intervention. Before-and-after comparisons of these family members' physical and psychological symptoms, and their coping methods, showed that major and significant changes were made during and following the intervention. Issues related to the generalizability of the intervention are discussed, including the transferability of therapeutic interventions within Europe at a time of greater trans-European mobility, and the generalizability of the possible intervention to other contexts.
