This study examined foster care reentry among methamphetamine abusing parents involved with Child Protective Services in Kings County, CA. Content analysis of secondary child welfare data was used to determine if family characteristics and parental stress factors are associated with foster care reentry among methamphetamine abusing families. The findings suggest that parents involved with Child Protective Services who also have a history of methamphetamine abuse experience numerous stress factors that may interfere with methamphetamine recovery and the maintenance of an intact family unit.
