Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Elmer

Today, there are drug treatment centers that are created to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment centers cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women often offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful 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.
