Programs that offer residential beds for clients offer these beds so mothers can be in a safe site for their kids while they're in the rehab that will save their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The flipside for these children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother and also the child, to have a safe place to stay and be together. Residential beds are available for pregnant women and postpartum women and for kids up to the age of 5-6 yrs old.
The length of stay in these residential programs can be different, and so can treatment offerings. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken into consideration during detox and afterwards to make sure the child is safe. For example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a way that would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds available, many facilities in Ulm have other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily like child care.
