While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of addiction treatment programs, they do, in fact, exist if you are in need. Back in 2007, the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services documented that 515 (14%) of residential substance abuse treatment programs provided 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 offer residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the rehabilitation they need while remaining involved with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. Most parents (mothers in particular) do not want to admit that they need help for their substance abuse issuesfor fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to alleviate this fear while supplying the care that both parent and child so desperately need.
