The new clearinghouse for the Family First Prevention Services Act has approved another parent support program and a substance abuse treatment model.
Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) uses medically-prescribed methadone to reduce the use of heroin and other opioids by people struggling with addiction and dependency. Its inclusion on the original list of programs for review was an early indicator that the clearinghouse was taking a broader view of evidence-based outcomes than just child welfare metrics (i.e., new substantiated reports of maltreatment or subsequent entry into foster care).
