Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Nettie

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women often 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 centers 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.
