One of the biggest obstacles that stand in the way of a single parent getting sober is that they don't want to leave their children to go to a treatment center. My intent with this thread is to provide info on facilities that will accept the addicted parent and their children. I am also going to post articles regarding the dynamics of being a parents and recovery. This thread will be a work in progress for a while, but keep checking back for updates. Any links that I have added to this thread are facilities that I have looked into to verify they are legitimate (which takes time and part of the reason this thread will be an ongoing project).
If you need information on places that will allow you to bring your children feel free to pm me your location and I can try to located options nearby for you.
If you know of any places please add to this list, and if you have any first hand experience please share. Thx!

Comprehensive Treatment Review Sites
1. This review site seems comprehensive and legitimate. I was able to check out the programs I have attended and they were all there and the reviews were accurate.
Ignore the ads and scroll to the bottom of the page where you can type your zip code in and see the different treatment facilities in your area. They include inpatient, out patient, psychiatric, and day programs amongst other things.
