Although residential beds for clients children is not as common 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 centers offered 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 provide residential beds for clients children. The mother is able to receive the rehabilitation they need while remaining close with their children through the difficult process of substance abuse recovery. Most parents (mothers in particular) are afraid to admit that they need help for their substance abuse issuesfor fear that their children will be taken from them. These programs help to reduce this fear while supplying the care and support that both mother and child so desperately need.
