Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Poteet

Today, there are drug rehab facilities that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab centers 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 commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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.
