Why care about family pres/reunification for infants with prenatal substance exposure? Because moms who lose custody are at heightened likelihood of subsequent exposed pregnancy. We can’t adopt our way out of the opioid epidemic.
Family treatment courts work even when parents don’t complete treatment! We linked CPS & treatment data to track families through both systems. FTC families 53% more likely to reunify independent of parent Tx outcomes. New paper out @DrugAlcReports.
