Facilities which offer residential beds for clients have these beds so women can have a safe place with their child/children while they're in the rehab that will save their lives and keep their children with them. The flipside for these children would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the woman and the child, to have a safe place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for children until the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in these residential facilities can be different, and so can rehab services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman may be pregnant, or perhaps postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken under advisement during detox and afterwards to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a person who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner that would keep the baby safe. Besides the residential beds offered, many centers in Witt offer other offerings to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
