Facilities that have residential beds for clients offer these beds so that mothers can have a safe place with their kids while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The flipside for these children would be much worse in most cases, so it can ease the mind of the woman as well as the child, to have a safe place to stay and be together. Residential beds are available for postpartum women or pregnant women and usually for kids until the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in one of these residential type programs can vary, and so can treatment services. For postpartum and pregnant women, beds are accessible but so are medical services that cater to these mothers. If a woman may be pregnant, or postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken under advisement during and after detoxification to make sure the child is safe. For example, a woman who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted rehab would be dealt with in a manner which would ensure the baby's safety. Besides the residential beds available, many centers in Harlingen offer other services to help mothers and fathers get through rehab more easily like child care.
