Abstract:

This study examined psychological changes in children of female drug misusers who were living with their mothers in a residential rehabilitation centre. The results suggest that the childrens' behaviour and cognitive skills were not adversely affected, and that there were many benefits for drug addicted mothers retaining custody of their children whilst undergoing a rehabilitation programme. The implications of the possible detrimental effects of a mother failing to complete her rehabilitation programme on her children are discussed. © 1991.
