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 reported that 515 (14%) of residential substance abuse treatment programs supplied 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 parent is able to receive the addiction treatment they need while remaining close with their children through the challenging process of addiction recovery. Most parents (mothers in particular) do not want to admit that they need help with their addiction issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to alleviate this fear while offering the proper care that both mother and child so desperately need.
