When addicted families remain untreated, infants and children born into and raised by these families are at high risk of abuse and neglect. Early intervention appears to mitigate neurodevelopmental damage caused by drugs and alcohol. It is unclear whether the high risk of abuse and neglect in these families can also be modified. Early intervention and ongoing supervision may be costly, but the long-term costs will be much higher if the multigenerational cycle of both diseases is not broken. A multidisciplinary team approach is essential to free children from the double burden of substance abuse and its frequent consequence, child abuse.
当成瘾家庭得不到治疗时，在这些家庭中出生并成长的婴幼儿遭受虐待和忽视的风险很高。早期干预似乎可以减轻药物和酒精对神经发育造成的损害。目前尚不清楚这些家庭中虐待和忽视的高风险是否也能得到改善。早期干预和持续监督可能成本高昂，但如果这两种疾病的多代循环不被打破，长期成本将高得多。采用多学科团队方法对于使儿童摆脱药物滥用及其常见后果——虐待儿童的双重负担至关重要。
