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 provided beds for both mothers and their children. There is a substantial advantage 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 addiction recovery. A lot of parents (mothers in specific) are afraid to admit that they need help with their addiction issuesbecause they fear that their children will be taken away. These programs help to reduce this fear while providing the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
