Facilities that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can be in a secure site for their children while they're in the rehab that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The alternative for these children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother as well as the child, to have a protected place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and for children until the age of 5 or 6.
How long you can stay in one of these residential programs can be different, and so can treatment services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are essential medical services that cater to these mothers. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into consideration during detox and afterwards to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a woman who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a way which would keep the baby safe. In addition to the residential beds offered, many programs in Wampum offer other offerings to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
