The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services reports that virtually 1,427,000 young children under the age of 18 live with a drug addicted mother in a single-parent household. With so many mothers in need of rehabilitation, finding programs that supply residential beds for clients children is important. Programs that accommodate the children of addicts are an expanding area of drug treatment programs. Admitting that you have a drug addiction problem and need help is not a simple thing. Single mothers in this position are often afraid that by admitting they will need drug addiction treatment; they will lose custody of their kids. Drug treatment programs providing residential beds for clients children are an exceptional way of helping the drug addicted mother while allowing her to continue to parent her children.
