For individuals dealing with an addiction who also have the responsibility of a child or children to consider, committing to treatment for help isn't an option, unless they find addiction treatment in Portland that accepts children. In these types of programs, there are beds and other amenities, supervision, childcare and even tutoring and curriculum based programs available to their children while the individual receives treatment. The situation is very grim when programs do not offer solutions for parents who don't have any other childcare options when they need assistance for an alcohol or drug problem.
Many of the addiction rehab programs that accept kids are gender specific, and most cater to women in treatment and their children. In allowing children, this takes so much worry and stress off both the family 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 afflicted the parents because of any drug or alcohol addiction disorder and violence, abuse, etc. associated with it.
As part of a multi-faceted approach in recovery facilities which accept children, family therapy is very often utilized so that both the parent and child are involved, and the children may also receive individual therapy and psychotherapy as well.
