Berkeley - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are created to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation centers for pregnant/postpartum women typically provide individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 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.
