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 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 parent is able to receive the drug addiction treatment they need while remaining involved with their children through the treatment process of substance abuse recovery. Many parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help with 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.
