"Drug rehab for moms works when they stay with their kids. But we are still addicted to treatment that splits up families." (CITY LIMITS) This article profiles "an effective, nationally recognized program, dubbed the Family Rehabilitation Program (FRP), which gave drug-addicted mothers treatment while their kids stayed with them, instead of going into foster care," noting that "this combination of treatment and nurturing makes FRPs surprisingly successful at keeping moms off drugs and kids out of care."
