Today, there are drug rehabilitation programs that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs 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 provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum treatment facilities have included "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.
