Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women typically 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 close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women.
