Rehab Centers that offer residential beds for clients have these beds so women can have a protected site with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The alternative for these kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the woman and the kid, to have a safe place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children up to the age of 5 or 6.
How long one can stay in these residential type facilities can be different, and so can rehab offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services specific to these people. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these issues are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a woman who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a manner which would keep the baby safe. Besides the residential beds available, many facilities in Echo offer other offerings to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
