Can a Mother Take Her Child to Residential Treatment?
Can a Mother Take Her Child to Residential Treatment?
Residential facilities have criteria for admission. It depends on their policies if a mother can bring her child who doesn’t require treatment. While some residential facilities may accommodate children in certain circumstances, it's important to note that not all facilities are equipped to provide treatment and care for children who do not have their own treatment needs.
A residential treatment center's primary focus is addressing the substance abuse issues of the individual(s) seeking treatment. If you or your loved one wishes to attend a rehab where you can take your child, call 866-461-3339 to inquire about our policies regarding children accompanying parents or guardians.
We can also provide information on any available options, such as family programs, support services, or referrals to appropriate resources in the community that may be better suited to address a child's needs.
In cases where the residential facility does not allow children to accompany parents or where it is not feasible or appropriate for the child to be in a treatment setting, alternative arrangements should be explored. This might include finding temporary caregiving solutions and involving other family members or trusted individuals to support and care for the child during a mother's treatment period.
