RE: substance related abuse

We are looking at this issue via the Illinois AODA wavier demonstration. We are finding that the use of recovery coaches reduce the risk of SEIs…perhaps this is related to the completion of substance abuse treatment programs. I would be happy to send the paper along when we have a complete draft. The following are some sources that may be helpful.

Subject: substance related abuse

I am looking for studies that focus on interventions for substance abusing mothers. Can anyone suggest studies? We would like to know the factors that predict the birth of a substance exposed infant or programs that have been shown to reduce the risk of of this type of abuse.
