Some mothers and fathers never look for help for drug or alcohol addiction because they are afraid that their youngster may end up in foster care with total strangers. Although this may sometimes the situation, some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs around the Alton area actually supply residential beds for client's children to ensure they can receive care at the drug and alcohol rehab center while at the same time having their children with them. This offers a feeling of relief to moms and dads in the Alton area that may in any other instance briefly or completely have to give up their parental rights, who can instead have their kids in their care which often gives parents great reassurance. Both parent and child can excel from putting themselves in such a rehabilitation program while the mother or father gets the opportunity to put their lives back in order, ultimately being able to supply a fresh start for their little one once treatment is finished.
