Although residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment facilities, 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 centers offered beds for both mothers and their children. There is a great advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend recovery programs that offer residential beds for clients children. The mother is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining close with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. Many parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help for their addiction issuesfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to alleviate this fear while providing the care that both parent and child so desperately need.
