Rehab Centers that offer residential beds for clients have these beds so that mothers can be in a protected place for their children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The flipside for the children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother and also the child, to have a safe place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for pregnant women and postpartum women and for children until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
How long one can stay in one of these residential type centers can vary, and so can treatment services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are medical services specific to these people. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into account during detox and afterwards to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a mother who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a way that would keep the baby safe. In addition to the residential beds available, many facilities in Black have other offerings to help parents get through rehab more easily like daycare.
