West River - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehab programs for pregnant/postpartum women often provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair 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 and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment facilities 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.
