Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Merlin

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted 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 programs for pregnant/postpartum women typically provide individualized programs that incorporate a good amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation centers 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 treatment.
