Will a judge overlook a proven history of alcohol and drug addiction while in court about a visitation disagreement?

Can a judge overlook a proven history of alcohol and drug addiction while in trial for an out of state visitation disagreement? Ex has a severe alcohol and drug problem, resulting in many hospitalizations. I believe that daughter should beabbe-able to visit with him while accompanied by a responsible party however not while alone. The last time I saw him, there appeared to be some improvement in terms of health, but I have not a received a professional opinion about his condition. There have been episodes of severe psychosis and hallucinations, as a result of drug and alcohol abuse. Deliriumm tremors many detox treatments along the way. Can a judge overlook these facts and continue to allow an unsupervised visitation schedule, without without getting a professionals opinion about his condition? I want my daughter to see her father, but fear her safety while alone with him. Prolonged visitation is a concern, considering the posibility of relapse, and psychotic episodes. My daughter loves her father and I’m beside myself about how to deal with the siuation. I have real concerns and I don’t know what the best solution to the problem is. My daughter’s father believes that he should be entitled unsupervised visitation and feels that I should simply trust that he stays sober while in our daughter’s presence. I can’t tak is word because he has failed to follow through with this promise in the past.
