Rehab Centers which offer residential beds for clients offer these beds so women can be in a safe place for their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The alternative for the kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the woman as well as the child, to have a secure place to stay and be together. Residential beds are available for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for kids until the age of five or six years old.
The length of stay in these residential programs can be different, and so can treatment services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into account during and after detoxification to ensure the safety of the child. For example, someone who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner that would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds offered, many facilities in Darwin have other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
