Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Wikieup

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are created to focus on specific drug addicted 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. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a great 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 and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment centers 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.
