GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted 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. Rehabilitation centers for pregnant/postpartum women often provide 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 close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehab 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 treatment.
