Pollock - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment programs that are made to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women commonly offer individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 and coping 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.
