1(800) 615-1067Substance abuse can have a significant impact on parenting. A parent struggling with substance abuse may find it difficult to provide a safe and stable environment for their children. They may experience mood swings, decreased motivation, and impaired decision-making abilities, which can affect their ability to meet their children’s needs. Substance abuse can also lead to neglect or abuse, both of which can have long-term negative consequences for children’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Children of parents with substance abuse disorders are also at an increased risk of developing their own substance abuse problems later in life. It is important for parents struggling with substance abuse to seek help and support to overcome their addiction and provide a safe and healthy environment for their children.
