Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Edelstein

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment programs that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities are specifically tailored 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 good 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 are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab programs 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 the rehab program.
