Some parents never search for treatment for addiction because they are afraid that their children may wind up in foster care with total strangers. Although this may often the case, some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around the Alakanuk area actually provide residential beds for client's children to ensure they can be helped at the drug rehab facility while also keeping their kids in their care. This offers a sense of relief to parents in the Alakanuk area who would otherwise temporarily or permanently lose custody of their children, who can instead have their children by their side which often gives parents peace of mind. Both parent and child can benefit from putting themselves in such a rehabilitation facility while the parent gets the opportunity to put their lives back together, eventually being able to provide a fresh start for their little one once rehabilitation is complete.
