Programs that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that mothers can have a protected site for their kids while they receive the treatment that will save their lives and have their kids stay with them. The alternative for these kids would be much worse , so it can ease the mind of the mother 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 for children until the age of five or six years old.
How long you can stay in one of these residential facilities can be different, and so can rehab services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are medical services specific to these women. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these issues are taken into consideration during detox and afterwards to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a mother who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way that would keep the baby safe. Aside from the residential beds available, many programs in Max have other offerings to help parents get through rehab more easily like child care.
