Rehab Centers that have residential beds for clients have these beds so mothers can have a protected place for their children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The alternative for these children would be much worse in most cases, so it can help the mother and 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 for kids until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
How long one can stay in these residential type centers can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services specific to these mothers. If a woman may be pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a manner which would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds available, many programs in Germantown have other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
