Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Dunbar

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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. Rehab facilities for pregnant/postpartum women commonly offer individualized programs that incorporate a fair 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 are also integrated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment 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.
