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 documented that 515 (14%) of residential substance abuse treatment centers offered 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 mother is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the challenging process of substance abuse recovery. A lot of parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help for their addiction issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to reduce this fear while providing the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
