Some mothers and fathers may not look for help for drug addiction due to the fact they are fearful that their children may wind up in foster care with complete strangers. Although this may often the case, some drug treatment facilities around the Athens, LA. area actually provide residential beds for client's children to ensure they can receive care at the alcohol and drug rehab facility while at the same time keeping their young children by their side. This gives a feeling of relief to moms and dads in the Athens, LA. area who would otherwise briefly or completely lose custody of their children, who can instead have their children by their side which often gives parents and children great reassurance. Both parent and youngster can benefit from putting themselves in such a rehab facility while the parent puts the pieces of their life back in order, eventually being able to supply a fresh start for their child once rehab is complete.
