Programs which have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can be in a secure place for their children while they're in the rehab that will restore their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The other outcome for the children would be much worse , so it can ease the mind of the woman and the child, to have a safe place to stay and be together. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and usually for kids until the age of 5 or 6.
How long you can stay in these residential type centers can be different, and so can rehab offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are medical services specific to these mothers. If a woman is pregnant, or perhaps breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into consideration during and after detoxification to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a mother who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way which would keep the baby safe. Besides the residential beds offered, many programs in Otis offer other offerings to help parents get through rehab more easily such as daycare.
