Some mothers and fathers may not seek out help 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 facilities around the Dorchester area actually provide residential beds for client's children to ensure they can receive care at the drug treatment program while at the same time keeping their children in their care. This provides a feeling of relief to parents in the Dorchester area who would otherwise briefly or completely lose custody of their children, but rather have their children by their side which often gives them great reassurance. Both parent and kid can benefit from putting themselves in such a treatment program while the mother or father gets the opportunity to put their life back together, ultimately being able to offer a fresh start for their child once rehabilitation is finished.
