Programs which offer residential beds for clients have these beds so mothers can have a protected site with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will save their lives and keep their children with them. The alternative for the children would be much worse , so it can help the mother and the child, to have a safe place to stay and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for children until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
How long one can stay in one of these residential type programs can vary, and so can rehab offerings. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are available but so are medical services specific to these clients. If a woman may be pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these issues are taken into account during detoxification and after to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner which would keep the baby safe. Aside from the residential beds offered, many centers in Prairie Home have other services to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
