While residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment programs, 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 centers provided beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial advantage to both the mother and child who are able to enroll in 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 challenging process of substance abuse recovery. Most parents (mothers in specific) do not want to admit that they need help with their substance abuse problemsbecause they fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to alleviate this fear while supplying the care that both mother and child so desperately need.
