For persons fighting a drug or alcohol addiction and also have the responsibility of a child or children to consider, going to rehab to get help isn't an option, unless they look for substance abuse treatment in Lima that allows children. In these types of facilities, there are beds and other amenities, supervision, childcare and even tutoring and curriculum based programs available to their children while the client receives treatment. The options are very grim when programs do not provide solutions for parents who don't have anywhere else for their child or children to go when they need help with an addiction.
Many of the substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that accept children are gender specific, and most cater to mothers in treatment and their children. By accepting children, this takes a lot of 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. It also ends the worry that has afflicted the family because of any drug or alcohol addiction disorder and violence, abuse, etc. associated with it.
As an aspect of a multi-dimensional approach in recovery facilities that accept children, family therapy is very often used where both the parent and child are involved, and the children also get individual therapy and psychotherapy as well.
