Methadone Detox: Supporting Mothers’ Engagement in a Community-Based Methadone Treatment Program.
Supporting mothers’ engagement in a community-based methadone treatment program.

Unmanaged maternal opioid addiction poses health and social risks to both mothers and children in their care. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is a targeted public health service to which nurses and other allied health professionals may refer these high risk families for support. Mothers participating in MMT to manage their addiction and their service providers were interviewed to identify resources to maximize mothers’ engagement in treatment and enhance mothers’ parenting capacity. Twelve mothers and six service providers were recruited from an outpatient Atlantic Canadian methadone treatment program. Two major barriers to engagement in MMT were identified by both mothers and service providers including (1) the lack of available and consistent childcare while mothers attended outpatient programs and (2) challenges with transportation to the treatment facility. All participants noted the potential benefits of adding supportive resources for the children of mothers involved in MMT and for mothers to learn how to communicate more effectively with their children and rebuild damaged mother-child relationships. The public health benefits of integrating parent-child ancillary supports into MMT for mothers are discussed.

Does Anyone Here Take Psych Meds and How Do They Work for You?
Question by werqwed: Does anyone here take psych meds and how do they work for you?
I’ve been feeling kinda depressed lately, I’m dealing with some permanent injuries that have come on within the past 2 years and am losing my zest for life. I’ve been thinking about trying some psych meds and was looking to get some input from different people on what they take and what kind of changes did it make after you started taking it. Thanks in advance.

Answer by Mike
I was prescribed anti-deppresants and anti-psychotics at the begining of the year. Honestly, they didn’t help me at all. I’m unmedicated and, although depressed, a perfectly functioning member of society.
But hey, it’s worth trying.
