Facilities that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can have a safe site with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and have their kids stay with them. 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 child, to have a protected place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and usually for children until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
The length of stay in these residential type centers can vary, and so can treatment services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are medical services that cater to these women. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a manner which would keep the baby safe. Aside from the residential beds offered, many programs in Babbitt offer other offerings to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
