Programs that offer residential beds for clients offer these beds so mothers can be in a protected site with their child/children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The flipside for the kids would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother and also the child, to have a safe place to stay and be with each other. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children until the age of 5-6 yrs old.
How long one can stay in these residential type centers can be different, and so can treatment services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are essential medical services specific to these clients. If a woman may be pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these issues are taken into consideration during and after detoxification to make sure the child is safe. For example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is receiving methadone assisted rehab would be treated in a way that would keep the baby safe. In addition to the residential beds available, many centers in Clinton have other offerings to help parents get through treatment more easily like child care.
