All of these programs expansions and enhancements work to create a more well-rounded program targeted at treatment moderate to high risk/need participants and their families, including those with opioid dependence. The population of focus will be adults age 18 and older who are residents of Muscogee County and must be the legal and primary caretaker of a child twelve years of age or younger, who has been placed, or is in danger of being placed into DFCS' care outside of the parental home. The parent must have dependency allegations arising from substance abuse or dependence, and must voluntarily enter the program and show a willingness to live a drug free lifestyle.

Goal 1.2: Increase the number of families receiving Child-Parent Psychotherapy from zero to 10 families per year. Goal 1.3: Increase and accept 80% of referrals that meet program eligibility requirements by collaborating with community partners to provide comprehensive services for children who may been affected by prenatal or post-natal substance abuse and trauma. Goal 1.4: Increase the number of individuals receiving MAT from zero to up to 20 individuals per year. Goal 1.5: Obtain a successful completion rate of 50% of participants in year one with a 10% incremental increase in each year thereafter through improved staff training and enhanced program services such as CPP, MAT, and Recovery Support Services. Goal 1.6: Have reactivations rates among Family Drug Court Program successful completions to under 20% annually.
