While residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment centers, they are possible to find 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 programs supplied beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial advantage to both the mother and child who are able to enroll in recovery 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 challenging process of substance abuse recovery. Most parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help with their substance abuse issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while offering the care and support that both parent and child so desperately need.
