Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Emory

Today, there are drug treatment programs 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. Rehabilitation facilities for pregnant/postpartum women commonly offer individualized programs that incorporate a good amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also integrated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation centers 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.
