Facilities that offer residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can be in a safe site for their children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The flipside for these children would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother and also the kid, to have a safe place to stay and be together. Residential beds are accessible for pregnant women and postpartum women and usually for children up to the age of 5-6 yrs old.
How long one can stay in these residential type centers can vary, and so can rehab offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are available but so are medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or perhaps breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken into account during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a person who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a manner which would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds available, many facilities in Deer have other offerings to help parents get through treatment more easily such as child care.
