While residential beds for clients children is not as common as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment programs, 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 programs 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 provide residential beds for clients children. The mother is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining close with their children through the challenging process of addiction recovery. Most parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help with their addiction problemsfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while offering the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
