COSA (Cornerstone of Successful Achievement) program serves substance abusing pregnant and parenting women whose infants and preschool children are often developmentally delayed. The program provides day treatment, outpatient treatment, drug screens, early intervention, group case management and continuing care. COSA integrates therapeutic child development into its treatment model developed from evidence-based studies. The treatment includes a holistic approach while integrating relationship building experiences between mother and child. The program works closely with substance abusing mothers and their young children to strengthen parent/child bonds by providing opportunities for parents to overcome their addiction to acquire effective parenting skills, to understand the basic principles of child development and to participate daily in their child's educational activities. Program goals are that adults will reduce their drug use; adults will demonstrate satisfactory parent/child interaction; and children in the Child Development Center will satisfactorily complete at least two educational goals on their Individual Development Plans.
