Rehab Centers that have residential beds for clients offer these beds so that women can have a secure place with their children while they receive the treatment that will save their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The other outcome for the kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother as well as the kid, to have a secure place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and for children up to the age of five or six years old.
The length of stay in these residential facilities can be different, and so can rehab services. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are available but so are essential medical services that cater to these mothers. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these issues are taken under advisement during detox and afterwards to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a way which would keep the baby safe. Besides the residential beds available, many programs in Lena offer other services to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily like child care.
