Some parents never look for treatment for addiction because they are afraid that their youngster may end up in foster care with total strangers. Although this may sometimes the case, some drug treatment facilities around the Scales Mound area actually provide residential beds for client's children so that they can receive care at the drug and alcohol rehabilitation center while also having their young children with them. This gives a sense of relief to mothers and fathers in the Scales Mound area that may in any other instance temporarily or completely lose custody of their children, but rather have their children by their side which often gives them peace of mind. Both parent and kid can benefit from being in such a treatment environment while the mother or father puts the pieces of their lives back together, eventually being able to offer a fresh start for their kid once rehabilitation is finished.
