Abstract
Heroin addiction is a major public health problem affecting both the addicted individuals and their children, who have been shown to have poor social, educational and health status and to be at higher risk of abuse than their peers. Whilst the antenatal effects of parental drug use and the overall poor outcomes for these children have been widely studied, there has been little emphasis on the effectiveness of treatment interventions and even less emphasis on evaluating the effect on children of the standard treatments aimed at their parents' drug use.
