PA: County grapples with parents struggling with opioid use
Associated Press – November 28, 2017

When opioids hijack a parent, there’s no proven playbook for getting the family back on course. Caseworkers have to decide whether to take the kids away, and policymakers are now trying to provide other options, including novel ones like whole-family rehab.
