Although residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of drug or alcohol rehabilitation programs, 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 enroll in recovery programs that offer residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the challenging process of addiction recovery. Many parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help with their substance abuse issuesfor fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to reduce this fear while providing the care and support that both parent and child so desperately need.
