Previous hearings before the select committee on this subject documented the widespread problem of drug addiction among women of all socioeconomic groups and featured a model program for substance abusing women and their children in Detroit, the Eleonore Hutzel Recovery Center. The third hearing, reported in this document, discusses what policies and laws should be in place to ensure that those who need help receive it. Some witnesses argue that substance abuse during pregnancy amounts to child abuse and should be handled under child abuse reporting laws. Others recommend that substance-abusing pregnant women be identified and required to undergo drug treatment. Federal funding for preventive outreach and treatment early in a women's pregnancy is favored by many witnesses. Training of health care professionals to identify and treat substance-abusing, pregnant women is recommended as well. Prepared statements, letters, and supplemental materials
