Rehab Centers which offer residential beds for clients have these beds so mothers can have 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 kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the woman and also the kid, to have a protected place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for postpartum women or pregnant women and for kids up to the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in one of these residential type centers can vary, and so can treatment offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are essential medical services specific to these mothers. If a woman may be pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into consideration during detoxification and after to ensure the safety of the child. As an example, a mother who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a way which would keep the baby safe. Aside from the residential beds available, many programs in Shattuck offer other services to help mothers and fathers get through treatment more easily such as child care.
