While residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol 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 offered beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend programs that offer residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining close with their children through the treatment process of addiction recovery. A lot of parents (mothers in specific) do not want 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 offering the care and support that both parent and child so desperately need.
