Programs that have residential beds for clients offer these beds so mothers can have a secure place with their child/children while they're in the rehab that will save their lives and have their kids stay with them. The other outcome for these kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the mother and also the child, to have a safe place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children until the age of 5 or 6.
How long you can stay in these residential type programs can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are essential medical services that cater to these mothers. If a woman may be pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into consideration during detox and afterwards to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a mother who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner which would keep the baby safe. In addition to the residential beds available, many programs in Fairfax offer other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily like child care.
