While residential beds for clients children is not as prevalent as other specialized types of drug or alcohol treatment programs, they are possible to find 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 supplied beds for both mothers and their children. There is a great advantage to both the mother and child who are able to enroll in programs that offer residential beds for clients children. The parent 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 specific) are afraid to admit that they need help for their substance abuse issuesfor fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to alleviate this fear while providing the care that both mother and child so desperately need.
