Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the
effectiveness of intervention and rehabilitative protocols
to access to one’s children through supervised visitation
(time sharing) on increased outcomes for parents recovering
from alcohol or narcotic addictions. Family Monitors of the
Toby Center for Family Transitions, Inc. served as neutral
third parties in facilitating supervised visitation between an
addictive parent and their child(ren). Cases were identified
there was a history of addictions and frequently dual diagnosis
on the parent seeking visitation access where court orders
for supervised visitation were presented. Legal documents,
psychological evaluations, criminal allegations and selfdisclosure
served as evidence of concurrent treatment.
Research found were that more than 80% of parents seeking
supervised time sharing (supervised visitation) were able to
terminate these services and obtain normal access to their
children without necessitating supervision, all within twelve
months of these services. The research further suggest that
Toby Center supervised visitation program will be most
effective for addict parents when working closely with these
parents’ rehabilitative providers.
Importance of the Research:
Whereas thirty percent of children are found to live in single
parent households; whereas forty percent of public school
children are prescribed behavior modification pharmaceuticals;
whereas less than two thirds of secondary school children
graduate high school; whereas twenty percent of children in
single parent households do not have both parents in their
lives, it is critical for society to find the means for children and
parents to maintain bonds of affection.
