PCAP's goals are to assist substance - abusing pregnant women and mothers in
obtaining treatment for substance abuse and staying in recovery, to ensure that children are in safe and stable home environments and are connected to health care, to connect mothers to community resources, and to prevent future births of alcohol and drug - affected infants.
The sites, advocates argued, would give individuals struggling with
substance abuse a clean environment to use pre-obtained drugs under the supervision of medical personnel and other officials who could help them
obtain treatment for their addictions.
