For persons struggling with a substance abuse problem who also have a child or children in their care, going to treatment to get help may not be an option, unless they seek substance abuse treatment in Peru that accepts children. In these kinds of facilities, there are beds and other amenities, supervision, childcare and even tutoring and curriculum based services available for their children while the client receives treatment. The alternative is very grim when programs don't offer solutions for parents who don't have any other childcare options when they need help with a drug or alcohol addiction.
Many of the drug or alcohol rehab centers that accept children are gender specific, and most cater to women in treatment and their children. By accepting children, this takes so much stress and worry off both the mom or dad and the child/children by providing a safe, drug free, and stable place to live, receive medical, mental health and social services. In addition, it ends the worry that has plagued the parents because of any substance abuse disorder and violence, abuse, etc. associated with it.
As an aspect of a multi-dimensional approach in recovery facilities that allow children, family therapy is very often utilized where both the parent and child are involved, and the child/children may also get individual therapy and psychotherapy as well.
