While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of addiction treatment centers, they do, in fact, exist 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 programs provided 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 provide 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. Many parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help with their substance abuse problemsfor fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to alleviate this fear while offering the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
