While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment facilities, they do, in fact, exist if you are in need. Back in 2007, the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services reported that 515 (14%) of residential substance abuse treatment centers supplied beds for both mothers and their children. There is a great advantage to both the mother and child who are able to enroll in programs that provide residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. Many parents (mothers in particular) do not want to admit that they need help for their substance abuse problemsbecause they fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while providing the care that both parent and child so desperately need.
