For people struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction who also have a child or children in their care, going to rehab to get assistance may not be an option, unless they seek substance abuse rehabilitation in Altoona that accepts children. In these types of facilities, there is supervision, beds and other amenities, childcare and even tutoring and curriculum based programs available to the children while the individual receives treatment. The situation is very grim when programs do not offer solutions for people who don't have anywhere else for their child or children to go when they need help with an alcohol or drug problem.
Many of the drug or alcohol addiction treatment facilities that accept kids are gender specific, and most cater to mothers in recovery and their children. In allowing children, this takes so much worry and stress off both the family and the child/children by providing a stable, safe and drug free place to live, receive medical, mental health and social services. It also stops the worry that has afflicted the family because of any addiction disorder and violence, abuse, etc. associated with it.
As part of a multi-faceted approach in programs that accept children, family therapy is often used where both the parent and child are involved, and the children also receive individual therapy and psychotherapy as well.
