Abstract
Increasingly, human services professionals are faced with the challenge of providing services to families of mothers who are addicted to cocaine and other drugs. The existing literature provides little guidance for meeting the needs of families in this emerging area of service provision. The authors describe a multidisciplinary approach to serving mothers who abuse cocaine, with the goal of providing a model for development of services for this population of high-risk parents and their vulnerable children. An overview of the problem of cocaine use by pregnant women is provided, followed by a detailed description of the specific services included in a hospital-based intervention program.
