Recovery Homes for Woman with Children
One of the biggest challenges facing alcoholic and drug addicted women is what to do with their children when they want help. Many recovery homes require a stay of three to nine months and no accommodations for children. These women often do not have family willing to care for the children during this time. The fathers may have their own substance abuse problems or a history of physical abuse. Women are reluctant to ask for help from social service in fear of never getting their children back. So they continue in their addictions .
There are a handful of these homes and they do much more than treat alcoholism and drug addiction. They provide counseling for mother and child, structure, and teach life skills such as cleaning and food preparation. The added bonus is learning how to parent. Not only do they have parenting classes but the counselors are there to help with day to day parenting problems these mothers face. Many of these children have behavioral problems due to the mother’s substance abuse and receive their own counseling.
The results are wonderful. The mothers are clean and sober, with newfound life and parenting skills. They are confident and have gained much needed self-esteem. They leave with a support system and a new lease on life. The children have their mommy back along with

new problem solving skills of their own. Most of all the family has remained together, preventing further trauma to the child. With substance abuse affecting more and more families it is necessary to provide more recovery homes for women and their children.
