Fostering Access to Substance Abuse Treatment to Help Keep Families Intact
Abstract
Like many other counties in Pennsylvania and around the country, Bucks County has experienced a significant increase in opiate drug use among its population. In 2008, the Children and Youth Social Services Department for the County began mapping the effect of this increased trend, which frequently characterized new reports for investigations of child abuse/neglect. Realizing the benefit to families and the agency, in 2015 Bucks County Children and Youth partnered with Penn Foundation, a substance abuse treatment provider, to embed a Mobile Engagement Specialist on the Children and Youth team. This partnership fostered immediate access to treatment to help keep families intact.
