Skill building-Putting the skills to use in society which is where we want them using the skills. Professional support-CCS enrollment can be a big help to DC Case Managers.
IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CLIENTS Consumers are identified for potential CCS enrollment upon initial interview. IF AN INDIVIDUAL SCREENS APPROPRIATE FOR DRUG COURT THEY SHOULD MOST LIKELY SCREEN APPROPRIATE FOR CCS!

CCS CLIENT RESULTS-PREGNANCY The Journal of Addiction Medicine suggests that the cost of treatment for babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) has increased dramatically. NAS is when a baby is born with opioids in their system and they are suffering from complications due to withdrawal of opioids. A majority of the costs for treating NAS is paid for by state Medicaid programs, possibly indicating the greater tendency of opiate abusing mothers to be from lower income families. The cost of a baby being born with NAS averages $66,700 compared to $3,500 cost for healthy newborns http://www.news-medical.net/news/20150520/Total-costs-of-treatment-for-babies-with-neonatal-abstinence-syndrome-on-the-rise.aspx http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20161217/MAGAZINE/312179896
