Programs that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can be in a safe place with their child/children while they're in the rehab that will restore their lives and have their kids stay with them. The flipside for these children would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the mother and also the child, to have a protected place to live and be with each other. Residential beds are available for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for kids until the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in these residential facilities can vary, and so can treatment services. For pregnant or postpartum mothers, beds are accessible but so are medical services specific to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or perhaps postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into account during and after detox to make sure the child is safe. As an example, a woman who is opiate addicted or who is receiving methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a manner that would keep the baby safe. Aside from the residential beds offered, many facilities in Leonardtown offer other services to help parents get through rehab more easily such as daycare.
