he 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

therewas 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 self-

disclosure 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 behaviormodification 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.
