Although residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol rehab 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 offered beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend recovery programs that provide residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the rehabilitation they need while remaining close with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. A lot of parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help for their addiction issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while supplying the care that both mother and child so desperately need.
