The goal of the TIES (Team for Infants Exposed to Substance use) Program is to identify and support pregnant or postpartum women and their families affected by maternal substance use in order to reduce drug use, promote healthier families, increase family stability through education and employment, and build on family resources. This crucial period of pregnancy and childbirth presents a valuable window of opportunity to enhance motivation and encourage women to consider substance use treatment and related life changes to promote their infants' health.

The Cornerstones of Care Substance-use Treatment Program provides a holistic treatment approach focused on children and families learning essential skills to maintain a drug-free life. Cornerstones of Care has partnered with COMBAT for 20 years to help children and families preempt the onset of drug use or interrupt a potential cycle of substance abuse for adolescents. Cornerstones of Care serves children and youth who suffer from the effects of traumatic experiences such as neglect and physical abuse as well as substance abuse by family members and violence in the home. This can often times lead to extended out-of-home placements for children. Children in the program are referred by the Jackson County Family Court, the Missouri Children's Division, and school districts.

Using the patient navigation model and evidence-based treatment models, First Call's goals are to (1) ensure access to counseling and recovery support to sustain or increase clients' motivation to change, (2) ensure consistent substance use assessment, and (3) remove barriers to care (e.g., childcare, transportation, employment) through care coordination.

PLAZA ACADEMY PROGRAM -- The Plaza Academy's school-based substance abuse treatment program provides services for all of its 7th- 12th grade students who are at-risk for substance abuse due to their lack of success in their previous environment. This program provides individual counseling, family counseling, group counseling, group education, case management and special education services for the students.

Jackson County residents struggling with SUD experience a variety of challenges and need both early intervention and ongoing treatment to reach and maintain a sufficient level of recovery. Many residents with SUDs do not have adequate health coverage, are unemployed, and do not have support systems in place.

Rose Brooks Center's Supported recovery program provides specialized treatment and recovery services to victims of domestic violence who reside either in the agency's emergency shelter or in the broader community. The voluntary Supported Recovery Program complements the other existing Rose Brooks Center domestic violence services and supports survivors' ability to know what is best for themselves. While substance use does not cause domestic violence, there is a statistical correlation between battering incidents and chemical use. Not only do batterers tend to abuse drugs and alcohol, but domestic violence also increases the probability that survivors themselves will use alcohol and drugs to cope with the violence. As such, the issues of domestic violence and substance use should be treated simultaneously.
