Facilities which have residential beds for clients offer these beds so women can be in a protected site with their children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and have their kids stay with them. The alternative for the kids would be much worse in most cases, so it can help the woman and also the kid, to have a protected place to live and be together. Residential beds are available for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for children until the age of five or six years old.
How long one can stay in these residential facilities can vary, and so can rehab offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services specific to these clients. If a woman may be pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a woman who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a manner that would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds available, many facilities in Lynchburg have other offerings to help parents get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
