Facilities which offer residential beds for clients have these beds so women can have a secure place for their children while they receive the treatment that will restore their lives and keep their children with them. The flipside for the 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 stay and be together. Residential beds are available for women who are pregnant or postpartum and for children up to the age of 5 or 6.
The length of stay in one of these residential type facilities can vary, and so can treatment services. For pregnant and postpartum women, beds are accessible but so are medical services specific to these women. If a woman may be pregnant, or perhaps postpartum and breastfeeding, these factors are taken into account during and after detoxification to ensure the safety of the child. For Instance, a mother who is opiate addicted or who is getting methadone assisted treatment would be dealt with in a way that would ensure the baby's safety. In addition to the residential beds available, many programs in Pampa have other offerings to help mothers get through treatment more easily like child care.
