Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Dunlap

Today, there are drug rehabilitation facilities that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a great 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 integrated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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.
