The authors present finding from their study of a placement prevention program designed to facilitate addiction treatment for substance-abusing mothers and other primary caregivers reported for child maltreatment. Relationships between involvement in the program, the status of addiction treatment, and the variety of outcomes for caregivers and their children were tested. Findings indicate that nearly half of the participants were able to complete addiction treatment and achieve sobriety. Those who used the program's child day care component were three times more likely to complete treatment. Implications for confronting the problem of substance-abusing caregivers in the child welfare system are drawn.
作者介绍了他们对一项安置预防计划的研究结果，该计划旨在为因虐待儿童而被举报的药物滥用母亲及其他主要照料者提供成瘾治疗便利。研究测试了参与该计划、成瘾治疗状况与照料者及其子女的各种结果之间的关系。结果表明，近一半的参与者能够完成成瘾治疗并实现戒酒。使用该计划儿童日托服务的人完成治疗的可能性是其他人的三倍。文章还得出了应对儿童福利系统中药物滥用照料者问题的启示。
