We present three case studies from a developmentally integrated intervention program for infants and toddlers. These three children were exposed to methadone ill utero and experienced withdrawal at birth. Their families' risk factors include poverty and mental illness. Research background for our work is presented. Primary intervention occurred in our therapeutic nursery, which serves children between 0 and 24 months of age. Intervention included addressing developmental and mental health needs of the children and family systems, child development knowledge, and emotional support needs of their parents. Both qualitative and quantitative records on how the children and their parents are progressing are presented. Our account shows improvement for these youngsters, with this integrated approach impacting on the whole family unit.
