Slide 2 - Quality Indicator

Slide notes

DCS considers the impact of substance abuse on the caregiver, as well as the children involved. But its effects on the caregiver are considered in the

context of the safety, stability, permanency, and well-being of the children. Therefore, it is important for the Family Case Manager to provide a thorough

assessment and consider plans that allow children to remain safely in the home if possible. When working with families who are experiencing substance

abuse, the Family Case Managers must also be aware of the timeframe required by the Adoption and Safe Families Act. In addition, the FCM should

consider the amount of time it takes to complete treatment and achieve sobriety.

Slide 3 - What is Substance Abuse 1

Slide notes

While the terms substance use and substance abuse are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a distinct difference between the two terms. Substance

use is simply the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or other substance. Substance abuse on the other hand is defined by the World Health Organization

as: “The harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs.”

Slide 4 - What is Substance Addiction

Slide notes

When a person engages in a pattern of substance abuse, it can sometimes develop into an addiction. An addiction is defined by the American

Psychological Association as “A chronic disorder with biological, psychological, social and environmental factors.” The addiction creates both

psychological and physical changes for the consumer that make it difficult for the consumer to control when or how much of the substance they will use.

The examples listed are just a few of the adverse psychological and physical changes that can accompany addiction

Slide 5 - Relapses

Slide notes

In your work as an FCM, it is likely that you will encounter families who struggle with an addiction to substances and who relapse during treatment for

those substances. While there is no conclusive clinical definition for the term “relapse”, a study on relapse prevention by the National Institutes of

Health defined a relapse as: “A setback that occurs during the behavior change process, such that progress toward the initiation or maintenance of a

behavior change goal is interrupted by a reversion to the substance use.”

Slide 6 - Permanency Clock

Slide notes

During New Worker Cohort training, you learned that the Adoption and Safe Families Act set timeframes to expedite permanency for children in out of

home care. Naturally, addiction is a challenging obstacle for families to overcome. Therefore, it is important that Family Case Managers Recognize the

time conflicts between the permanency clock and the time it takes caregivers to work through addiction treatment.

Slide 7 - Permanency Clock Challenges

Slide notes

Caregivers will encounter challenges in the face of addiction treatment. Some of these challenges may include: Time to recognize the problem. Time to

work through the stages of change. Time required to access open treatment slots. Time required to participate in treatment successfully. And the impact

of relapses that may occur.

Slide 8 - Permanency Clock: The FCM Role

Slide notes

There are several strategies an FCM can leverage to support the caregiver through the process of adhering to the permanency clock. The FCM can:

Communicate regularly with service providers.

Help service providers understand the permanency clock timeline.

Recognize that the caregiver may make progress, and then regress at some points during the process.

And continuously work to engage the caregiver and encourage them to maintain treatment services.

Slide 9 - Signs of Substance Abuse

Slide notes

An FCM’s ability to identify patterns of problem behavior that emerge over time is useful when working with families for extended periods of time. The

following slides contain possible signs of substance abuse in adults. Please note that there may be other factors contributing to these signs in your work.

These indicators of substance abuse should be viewed as red flags for further exploration, not automatic indicators of substance abuse.

Slide 15 - FCM Role in Substance Abuse

Slide notes

As the FCM, you have regular interactions with a family and you may be the one to notice the possibility of substance abuse issues. It is important that

you are able to identify signs and make referrals. This is a critical step for children’s safety stability permanency and wellbeing.

It is vital that you understand that your role is not to diagnose, but to recognize signs that indicate an assessment referral is warranted.
