Simonton - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are made to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment centers cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation centers for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer 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 the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab 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.
