| Abstract |
This article describes the addiction recovery process and its impact on parenting behaviors-information needed by child welfare workers involved in decision-making regarding family reunification. Two models of recovery--from alcoholism and from cocaine addiction--are reviewed, along with issues encountered in recovery, particularly for women. Case examples and discussion demonstrate how child welfare workers can apply these models in determining the appropriateness of reunification.
