24 Miss. Code. R. 2-49.5 - Services to Parenting Women and/or Men with Dependent Children (PPWMDC)
A. Providers must ensure that, where
appropriate, the family is treated as a unit, and both women and/or men, along
with dependent children (aged five [5] and under) are admitted to treatment.
Such admission may not be appropriate if, for example, the provider does not
offer services to a particular gender, or a parent is not in need of SUD
treatment and is able to adequately care for the child/children.
B. PPWMDC providers must ensure the provision
of or make arrangements for the following minimum array of services for women
and/or men with dependent children and women and/or men who are attempting to
regain custody of their children. Providers are also responsible for including
the following services:
1. Provide primary
pediatric care for their children including immunizations.
2. Provide separate gender specific substance
abuse treatment and other therapeutic interventions for women and men which may
address issues of relationships, sexual and physical abuse, parenting, and
childcare while the women or men are receiving these services.
3. Offer family focused programs to support
family strengthening and reunification (i.e., parenting education, partner
counseling and interventions, social and recreational activities, and alcohol
and drug use education and referral services for SUD treatment for family
members).
4. Provide childcare
while the women/men are receiving services.
5. Provide children, accompanied by their
mother or father in treatment, access to therapeutic interventions.
6. Provide sufficient case management and
transportation to ensure those women/men and their children have access to the
services listed above.
7. Develop a
discharge plan that includes a comprehensive roadmap for any community-based
services that both the mother/father and their children will need upon
completion of the residential program.
