Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Institute

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women often offer individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation programs 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.
