Axton - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are created to focus on specific drug addicted 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 often offer individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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.
