Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Paul Smiths, New York

Today, there are drug treatment facilities that are created to focus on specific drug addicted 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. Rehabilitation centers for pregnant/postpartum women often offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum treatment programs 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.
