Rehab Centers which offer residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can have a secure site with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will save their lives and keep their children with them. The flipside for these children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the mother and the child, to have a secure place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and for kids up to the age of five or six years old.
The length of stay in these residential type programs can vary, and so can rehab services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are medical services that cater to these people. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into account during and after detoxification to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a person who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way that would ensure the baby's safety. Besides the residential beds offered, many centers in Augusta offer other services to help parents get through rehab more easily like child care.
