Kicking
drugs. Learning how not to be an addict.
When the rehab is residential, it means
leaving the drug environment behind.
But it also almost always means leaving
family behind, too. And, for women, that
means leaving their children. But a rehab
center in rural Cumberland County is
creating a new model: women who enter
treatment with their kids. A new and
improved way of treating addicted women
... or a well-meaning, but unrealistic,
approach? On this edition of Due Process,
Sandy King's mini-doc takes a close look
at the Matriark program at Seabrook House,
while Raymond Brown's studio discussion
focuses on the pluses and the minuses
of taking children into rehab ... and
the broader questions of women, addiction
and effective treatment.
