Rehab Centers which have residential beds for clients offer these beds so that mothers can have a protected place for their kids while they're in the rehab that will save their lives and have their kids stay with them. The alternative for these kids would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the mother as well as the kid, to have a safe place to live and be together. Residential beds are accessible for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children up to the age of 5 or 6.
How long one can stay in these residential type centers can vary, and so can rehab offerings. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are available but so are medical services that cater to these clients. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these issues are taken under advisement during and after detox to make sure the child is safe. For Instance, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a way which would keep the baby safe. In addition to the residential beds offered, many programs in Somerville have other offerings to help mothers get through rehab more easily such as daycare.
