Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Hearne

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab facilities have included "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.
