Description

When Drug Addicts Have Children brings together 28 program administrators, direct service providers, government officials, and scholars -- all specialists in child welfare and drug abuse -- in a collaborative effort to define new approaches to the complex, seemingly intractable problems associated with substance abuse and families. Readers will find a collection of provocative reports and research that calls for a radical new approach to the care and treatment of children abused and neglected by their drug-addicted parents. A must for all addiction and child welfare professionals
