Programs that offer residential beds for clients offer these beds so that mothers can have a protected site for their child/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 secure place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are available for pregnant women and postpartum women and for kids up to the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in these residential type programs can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are available but so are medical services specific to these women. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken into account during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, someone who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a manner which would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds offered, many centers in Stephentown have other services to help mothers get through rehab more easily such as daycare.
