Programs that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can have a safe site for their kids while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The alternative for these kids would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the woman and also the child, to have a protected place to stay and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for kids up to the age of five or six years old.
The length of stay in one of these residential type programs can be different, and so can rehab services. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are accessible but so are medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman may be pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken under advisement during detoxification and after to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a mother who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a way that would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds offered, many programs in Lane have other offerings to help mothers and fathers get through rehab more easily like daycare.
