Volunteers of America OK, Inc.

Project Summary

VOAOK with a consortium of partners, proposes to reduce the incidence and impact of neonatal abstinence syndrome in rural areas of SW Oklahoma. Consortium will apply the concept of multifaceted care to the individuals at greatest risk of NAS in rural OK. Program will implement activities in support of women of childbearing ages who are SUD/OUD. Program will improve systems of care, family supports, and social determinants of health, in order to improve health care of women at risk and prevent prenatal exposure as well as child removal and family disruption. Over the three-year period of performance, the program will build on the combined experience of a multi-sectoral consortium to design a culturally responsive program to advance health equity by adapting treatment services to the target population.
