From the description of the question, it seems as the grandmother may have hard evidence about the methamphetamine use.

The best approach would be to file and serve a request for temporary guardianship. During the guardianship proceedings, social services can investigate and determine if placement with the grandmother and rehab for bio mom would be the best approach.

Maternal grandmother should meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore her legal options.
