Ohio START

Ohio Sobriety Treatment and Reducing Trauma (START) is an affiliate of the National Sobriety Treatment and Recovery Teams (START) Model, a specialized child welfare service delivery model that has been shown, when implemented with fidelity, to improve outcomes for children and families affected by parental substance use and child maltreatment.

The model uses a variety of strategies to promote collaboration and systems-level change within and between child welfare agencies, substance use and mental health treatment providers, the judicial system, and other family-serving entities.
