Past Performance

Vulnerable Infants Program of Rhode Island
Family Treatment Drug Court
This program provided assessment and care coordination services. Staff from The Brown Center For The Study Of Children At Risk / Women and Infants Hospital worked with behavioral health service providers, child welfare staff and family court to insure appropriate service plans are developed to address the needs of newborns who have been prenatally exposed to substances and their family members. NPIC/QAS assisted with the development of a Family Treatment Drug Court to better serve these families.

An article detailing the first five years of the project entitled "Vulnerable Infants Program - RI: Promoting Permanency for Substance - Exposed Infants" was published in Child Welfare Vol. 89, No.3, pgs 121-143, 2010. The project evaluator and program director presented the program on numerous occasions, most recently at the National Association of Drug Court Professionals annual meeting (St. Louis, Missouri, May 2008) and the Third National Conference on Women, Addiction and Recovery (Tampa, Florida, September 2008).

SSTAR - Treatment Access Project
This project funded services at SSTAR in Fall River, MA designed to coordinate primary care, behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment services. The first year of this three-year project focused on coordinating care within the SSTAR service delivery system. In subsequent years, efforts were made to work with local primary care providers to improve the identification and referral of individuals who are in need of substance abuse treatment.
