Description

The use and misuse of drugs is a major social, health, political and economic issue globally. This book presents a series of chapters on the impact of drug use during pregnancy; the impact of parental drug addiction on the child with recommendations for supporting children and teenagers during a parents' recovery process; the development of parental skills and renewed parent-child bonding; and how improvements in positive child outcomes can result from an inter-agency working between child protection and addiction treatment providers.
