Parents in Hudson County who have had their child or children removed from their care because of substance abuse can visit with them through their supervised therapeutic visitation program. Local DCP offices make service referrals, and court orders may also be required. Trained medical professionals oversee the visits and offer assistance while determining whether the parents are prepared for reunification.
Parenting skills, behavior modification techniques and safety awareness as well as an understanding of age appropriate noncorporal discipline are all covered during visits. Prior to reunification parents are assisted in their attempts to finish their court mandated programs such as substance abuse treatment.
