This report describes a model for delivering developmental services to children of patients in treatment for substance abuse.
A multidisciplinary team provides developmental evaluations of children at a substance abuse treatment clinic.
In 3 years of operation, 85% of 117 children completed individualized developmental evaluations. Cognitive limitations were diagnosed in 69%, speech and language impairments in 68%, emotional or behavioral problems in 16%, and medical problems in 83%. Follow-up information on children completing evaluation indicated that 72% of eligible children are receiving services as recommended.
This high-risk population of children of substance-abusing parents can be effectively served by providing developmental services at a substance abuse treatment program.
本报告描述了一种为接受药物滥用治疗的患者的子女提供发育服务的模式。
一个多学科团队在一家药物滥用治疗诊所对儿童进行发育评估。
在运营的3年中，117名儿童中有85%完成了个性化发育评估。69%被诊断出存在认知缺陷，68%存在言语和语言障碍，16%存在情绪或行为问题，83%存在医疗问题。对完成评估的儿童的随访信息表明，72%符合条件的儿童正在按照建议接受服务。
通过在药物滥用治疗项目中提供发育服务，可以有效地为这一高风险的药物滥用父母的子女群体提供服务。
