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 facilities 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 addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the difficult process of addiction recovery. A lot of parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help for their substance abuse issuesfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to alleviate this fear while providing the care and support that both parent and child so desperately need.
