While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of addiction treatment programs, they are possible to find 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 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 particular) are afraid to admit that they need help for their substance abuse issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to reduce this fear while offering the proper care that both mother and child so desperately need.
