Connecting Parents with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) to Evidence-Based Treatment
Our efforts to achieve this objective include:
- Early screening for substance use that will allow us to provide evidence-based treatment earlier
Treatment consists of:
- Access to naloxone administration training
- Peer recovery supporters, with the goal of reducing relapses and overdose deaths
- Working on reunification plans with the child welfare system
- Substance use treatment that includes therapy/counseling and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD)*
*Formally known as Medication-Assisted Treatment
