DACCO’s Women’s Residential Treatment in Tampa Florida will expand its current residential substance abuse treatment, prevention, and recovery services through the proposed Family Treatment Services to 150 pregnant and postpartum women and 250 children (20 pregnant and postpartum women and their 30 children and 10 pregnant and postpartum women and 20 children involved in dependency court who do not have their children with them but are working toward reunification annually). The unique duplex setting on-site with 8 bedrooms in 2 duplexes is groundwork for a unique treatment program outside of the in-house 78 bed dorm-like therapeutic community. Grouping women with like struggles and their children will enhance the recovery environment, camaraderie and very much simulate living in an apartment after discharge. The program will also provide trauma-informed services to stabilize, strengthen, preserve, and reunite families for the women, minor children, fathers of the children, partners of the women, and extended family members. Through the use of evidenced-based strategies DACCO will accomplish its goals of (a) decrease the use and/or abuse of prescription, alcohol, tobacco, illicit and other harmful drugs among pregnant and postpartum women; (b) increase safe and healthy pregnancies; (c) improve birth outcomes; (d) reduce related effects of maternal and /or paternal drug use on infants and children; (e) improve the mental and physical health of the women and children; (f) prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders among the children; (g) improve parenting skills, family functioning, economic stability, and quality of life for families; (h) decrease involvement and exposure to crime; violence; neglect; and (i) decrease physical, emotional, and sexual abuse for all family members. DACCO will provide residential treatment services to pregnant and postpartum women and their minor children, as well as an array of services for non-residential family members of both the women and children delivered on-site at DACCO’s main campus or in-home. Other components will include follow-up care after families leave the residential setting by continuing the individual and family wellness and recovery plans in the home, and adding parenting and workshops to enhance family functioning and mitigate re-lapse. DACCO will include culturally competent, trauma-informed services designed to meet the specific needs of PPW and their children. The application builds on the strong 44-year service record of DACCO. DACCO has successfully received and implemented substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery grants from local, state, and federal sources. In addition, DACCO was awarded the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 2013 Science and Service Award and the 2013 iAward for Innovation in Behavioral Health Services national awards for Comprehensive Coordinated Care for opiate-addicted pregnant women.
