While 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 centers 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 offer residential beds for clients children. The parent is able to receive the addiction treatment they need while remaining close with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. Many parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help with their substance abuse issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to reduce this fear while providing the care that both mother and child so desperately need.
