Programs that have residential beds for clients have these beds so that women can be in a protected place with their child/children while they're in the rehab that will save their lives and give them the chance to stay with their children. The alternative for these kids would be extremely bad in most cases, so it can help the mother and also the child, to have a protected place to stay and be together. Residential beds are accessible for pregnant women and postpartum women and for kids until the age of five or six years old.
How long one can stay in one of these residential facilities can vary, and so can rehab offerings. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are available but so are essential medical services specific to these people. If a woman is pregnant, or breast feeding and postpartum, these factors are taken into consideration during and after detox to make sure the child is safe. For example, someone who is opiate dependent or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be treated in a way which would ensure the baby's safety. Aside from the residential beds available, many programs in Mingus offer other services to help mothers get through treatment more easily such as daycare.
