Some mothers and fathers never seek treatment for drug or alcohol addiction due to the fact they are afraid that their children may end up in foster care with total strangers. Although this may often the situation, some drug treatment centers around the Bunkie area actually provide residential beds for client's children to ensure they can be helped at the alcohol and drug rehabilitation program while at the same time having their young children with them. This offers a sense of relief to mothers and fathers in the Bunkie area that may in any other instance temporarily or permanently lose custody of their children, but rather have their children in their care which often gives parents great reassurance. Both parent and child can excel from being in such a rehabilitation facility while the mother or father gets the opportunity to put their life back in order, ultimately being able to offer a new beginning for their little one once rehab is complete.
