In-Home Treatment for Stay-At-Home Parents
In-Home Treatment for Stay-At-Home Parents
Staying at home and raising your children is an amazing gift! It’s so wonderful to be able to see your children grow from tiny infants to moody teenagers and, finally, adults that are ready to take on the world!
With that said, staying at home all day can be very difficult for those with a substance use disorder. There is plenty of access to alcohol and—unless the parent is also working or going to school from home—very little accountability. Without work or school, there are no expectations from others to stay sober and drinking throughout the day can be better swept under the rug. In turn, this can lead to health issues, neglect, and even putting children in danger.
If you find you are drinking or using drugs while at home with your children during the day, there are treatment options available for you. Below are the available options, along with more information about in-home treatment.
What Treatment Options Are Available for Stay-at-Home Parents?
Oftentimes, both parents can’t take a break from work (or even cut back) without a major disruption in the household. Because of this, treatment options may be limited. For instance, inpatient treatment often isn’t a good option for stay-at-home parents.
While outpatient treatment allows a stay-at-home parent to receive treatment after work hours, it also can put a lot of strain on the working parent. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but it can be extremely difficult to navigate.
So, what option allows for a stay-at-home parent to get the help they need without a major household disruption?
In-Home Treatment
In-home treatment involves a patient receiving substance use disorder treatment from the comfort of their own home. This is especially helpful for stay-at-home parents—as it allows them to continue to care for their children while receiving the treatment they need and deserve. In-home treatment works around the schedule of both parents and can include family treatment to create a more cohesive household where the person suffering from a substance use disorder can properly heal.
