Programs that have residential beds for clients offer these beds so women can be in a protected site for their child/children while they receive the treatment that will save their lives and have their kids stay with them. The other outcome for the children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the woman and the child, to have a secure place to stay and be together. Residential beds are available for women who are pregnant or postpartum and usually for children until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
The length of stay in these residential facilities can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are available but so are medical services that cater to these people. If a woman may be pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into account during detox and afterwards to make sure the child is safe. For example, someone who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a manner which would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds offered, many programs in Glen Echo offer other services to help mothers and fathers get through rehab more easily such as daycare.
