Each day in the United States, 80 newborns are diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome, in which they experience withdrawal from a drug they have been exposed to in the womb (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). Researchers know now that parental smoking, drinking, and drug use put a fetus at increased risk for disabilities and health disorders. However, adults who are addicted to these substances may not have the capacity to quit and/or may not be fully educated in the risks.

As a social worker, you will meet families in complicated situations that may require a variety of resources for support. These situations can involve parental drug use and the short- and long-term effects on children and the family. In this Discussion, you learn about one such family.
