Anyone employed in a Court System is aware of the staggering percentage (65%) of arrestees and inmates, who meet the criteria for substance abuse (National Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse). Within the population of parents who lose parental rights, there is also a significant percentage of parents with substance use and mental health disorders. (Children and Youth Services Review, in press) The correlation between court appearances and substance use disorders is remarkable. Many of these arrestees, inmates and parents who lose parental rights are addicted mothers and fathers, and/or they are the grown children of individuals who came from homes with alcohol or other drug problems.
What about the children of the arrestee or inmate or the children who now find themselves in foster care? They suffer many of the consequences of their parent’s actions, including the effects of substance use and/or mental health disorders.
