Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Buckley

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab facilities cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation facilities for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. 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 rehabilitation 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 the rehab program.
