Programs that offer residential beds for clients have these beds so that mothers can be in a secure site for their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The alternative for the kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother as well as the child, to have a secure place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and for children until the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in these residential type programs can be different, and so can treatment services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are available but so are medical services specific to these women. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these facts are taken into account during and after detoxification to make sure the child is safe. For example, a person who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way which would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds available, many programs in Smyrna have other services to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily like child care.
