Children in foster care due to parental substance use disorder are at high risk for delayed permanency. Understudied is the effect of foster care factors on these children’s exits from care. This study analyzed 10 years of federal child welfare data to understand the effect of foster care placement, provider, and support factors for this vulnerable group. Results revealed that several foster care variables influenced time to, and likelihood of, permanency for children with substance-related removals. Foster care setting, foster parent age and race, and several types of federal supports affected permanency trajectories. Children in homes receiving more federal supports were less likely to achieve permanency, suggesting the insufficiency of these supports to counteract the effects of socioeconomic risk on permanency.

Foster youth exiting child welfare systems through emancipation or aging out are at elevated risk for substance use disorders. Many may experience challenges to accessing substance use disorder treatment after foster care. This chapter explores the potential for delivering substance use disorder treatments to emerging adults in the context of federal policy, which has expanded over the past three decades to better support the transition that foster youth make to adulthood. First, background information on aging-out foster youth is provided, and what is known about alcohol and substance use disorders and associated treatment is reviewed. The chapter also discusses potential barriers to treatment engagement and offers considerations for developing programs that address population-specific needs. This review of substance use and aging-out foster youth comes at a time when the transition to adulthood is increasingly considered an important developmental period to target interventions aimed at promoting positive health behaviors.
