Elton - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted 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 provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also incorporated into programs designed 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.
