While residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment centers, 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 offered beds for both mothers and their children. There is a great advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend programs that provide residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the rehabilitation they need while remaining involved with their children through the treatment process of substance abuse recovery. Many 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 away. These programs help to reduce this fear while supplying the proper care that both mother and child so desperately need.
