Nothing directly. In California all rights reside in the parents. Grandparents have no rights unless they are appointed legal guardians. The only thing you can hope to do is intervene with your daughter and get her straightened up enough to fight for your side of the family.
I would beg to differ slightly on the above advice by focusing a motion on the need for the children not to lose their relationship or contact with the maternal side of the family. If mother is incapacitated by substance abuse, you may consider a motion to be joined into the family law case requesting limited but consistent contact with the maternal grandparents until mothers condition improves so she can establish a relationship with her sons.
