Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Grabill

Today, there are drug rehabilitation facilities that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment centers are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation programs for pregnant/postpartum women often provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment facilities have integrated "household" chores (cleaning, cooking, etc.) into their curriculum so that taking care of their babies and small children goes more smoothly once they leave the rehab program.
