Temporarily. When a mother is in rehab and there is no father in the home, the child is classified as dependent (no parent or guardian willing or able to provide for and care for the child.) If the mother is able to work out an arrangement with a family member or friend while she is in rehab, sometimes that will suffice. Occassionally DHR/DCS will become involved and ensure the child has a safe placement and then upon return from rehab, DHR/DCS will administer random drug screens or require counseling before the family can return to "normal". Some rehab progams allow children and have a separate area for the children while the parent is in class. As long as the mother clearly shows that she is attempting to do what is in the best interest of her child, she shouldn't have to worry.

Can a mother who is a convicted drug user and is due to get out of a drug rehabilitation program get custody of her children back from Child Protective Services?

No. She is going to need to establish a history and pattern of positive changes first. That means a stable home for the children and the ability to care for them physically and financially. Granting custody back to someone fresh out of rehab would not be appropriate nor is it in the best interest of the children. She needs to prove she is really rehabilitated.No. She is going to need to establish a history and pattern of positive changes first.
