Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Thompsons

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment programs that are made to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab facilities 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 offer individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also integrated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum treatment centers have included "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.
