Will My 17mos. Old Neice Be Taken Away From My Sister if She Seeks Drug Addiction Treatment?
Question by momof4: Will my 17mos. old neice be taken away from my sister if she seeks drug addiction treatment?
My sister is recently separated from her husband. She and my 16mos. old niece dwell with my dad and mom, who are supporting her in each and every way. We are concerned with my sisters serious drug addiction to discomfort killers, started soon after the birth of my niece. My sister has a dread if she seeks therapy, the baby will be taken away from her. Is this true? How could that be? If she seeks out therapy, and the 72 hours she is in detox, her loved ones will be taking care of the little one.

The kid wont be taken away. She will be asking for aid and she lives with mother and father almost everything will be fine if she gets the aid she wants.
Excellent luck

The only way is if she tells the therapists one thing which prospects them to feel that the infant is in danger. I think then, you would agree, that the infant need to be taken away if it is in danger.

The child will not be taken away without an incident, or sufficient reason to suspect the baby is in danger. The fact that your parents are able to take care of the baby only helps this cause. If she is checking into a private drug rehab (pay upfront, or through your health insurance) then there won’t be an investigation into her life other than her ability to pay for the treatment. Conversely there will be more of a prying eye from a govt. subsidized addiction treatment program, seeing as how they can’t accept everyone, so anyone looking for this type of treatment will undergo more scrutiny.
The first step in the progression toward her sobriety is her admittance of an addiction and her willingness to go treatment. Your parents letting her stay with them and supporting and looking after her and the baby is an absolutely ideal situation for someone to have post rehab. The love and support of the family is key to recovery.
I don’t think she will have anything to worry about.
