Regardless of what is said about them Lawyers are very useful people. If you're sure the mother of your child is a drug addict, you can have your lawyer advise OCS of this demanding they put in frequent welfare checks on the children and mother and make recommendations that the child be put into the custody of another (clean and sober) member of the family or even into foster care.
An other method is have family check in with the mother and your children frequently (if allowed) with the admonition to call the police at the first and every sign of drug or alcohol abuse. Or to at least talk her into letting the kids "stay the night" when she's on a runner. It's very important to be a friend of this addict so that she'll know it's concern and not vengeance the family is doing this over. Concern for her especially. Emphasize you want your kids away from the dope, not their mother.

Do you have a lesser chance of getting custody of your child if you have a felony on your record?
You don't necessarily have a lesser chance of gaining custody of a child if you have a felony on your record. It depends on the circumstances of the felony and on the history, criminal and other, of the parent applying for custody. One thing you can do is you can try to get your criminal record expunged, and that way you will have better chances of winning custody. Anyone eligible for expungement should do this, since it will significantly improve their chances of getting a job or a student loan, as well as improving their opportunities in other areas. Good luck!
