Facilities which offer residential beds for clients offer these beds so women can be in a protected site for their child/children while they're in the rehab that will restore their lives and have their kids stay with them. The other outcome for the children would be extremely bad , so it can ease the mind of the mother as well as the child, to have a protected place to stay and be together. Residential beds are available for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for children until the age of 5 or 6.
How long one can stay in these residential centers can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are available but so are medical services specific to these mothers. If a woman may be pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken into account during and after detox to ensure the safety of the child. For example, a mother who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a manner which would keep the baby safe. Besides the residential beds offered, many centers in Kensington have other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily like daycare.
