Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Trinidad

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are created 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. Rehab centers for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide 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 developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment programs 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.
