Although residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment centers, 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 provided beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial benefit 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 addiction treatment they need while remaining close 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 for their addiction issuesfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while supplying the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
