While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent 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 reported that 515 (14%) of residential substance abuse treatment facilities offered beds for both mothers and their children. There is a great advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend 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. Most parents (mothers in particular) do not want to admit that they need help for their substance abuse problemsbecause they fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to alleviate this fear while supplying the care that both mother and child so desperately need.
