While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of addiction treatment 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 substantial advantage to both the mother and child who are able to attend recovery programs that offer residential beds for clients children. The mother is able to receive the addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the treatment process of substance abuse recovery. Many parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help for their substance abuse problemsfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to alleviate this fear while supplying the care that both parent and child so desperately need.
