Facilities that have residential beds for clients have these beds so mothers can be in a safe place for 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 the kid, to have a secure place to live and be together. Residential beds are available for women who are pregnant or postpartum and usually for kids up to the age of 5-6 yrs old.
The length of stay in one of these residential type centers can vary, and so can rehab services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are medical services specific to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these facts are taken into consideration during detox and afterwards to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a person who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner that would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds available, many programs in La Crosse have other offerings to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
