Programs that have residential beds for clients have these beds so mothers can be in a protected place with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and have their kids stay with them. The other outcome for the kids would be much worse in most cases, so it can help the mother and also the child, to have a secure place to stay and be with each other. Residential beds are available for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children until the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in one of these residential programs can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to make sure the child is safe. For Instance, someone who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way that would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds available, many programs in Philadelphia offer other offerings to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
