Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Bradner

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities that are created to focus on specific drug addicted 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. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically 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 the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation programs 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.
