For persons dealing with an alcohol or drug problem who also have the responsibility of a child or children to consider, attending rehab for assistance may not be an option, unless they look for substance abuse treatment in Knox that accepts kids. In these types of programs, there are beds and other amenities, supervision, childcare and even tutoring and curriculum based services available to their children while they receive treatment. The situation is very grim when programs do not provide solutions for people who don't have anywhere else for their child or children to go when they need help for a drug or alcohol problem.
Many of the drug or alcohol rehabilitation programs that accept children are gender specific, and most cater to women in recovery and their children. By allowing children, this takes a lot of worry and stress off both the mom or dad and the child/children by providing a stable, safe and drug free place to live, receive medical, mental health and social services. In addition, it stops the dysfunction that has plagued the parents because of any substance abuse disorder and violence, abuse, etc. associated with it.
As part of a multi-dimensional approach in programs which allow children, family therapy is very often used so that both the parent and child participate, and the child/children also get individual therapy and psychotherapy as well.
