GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment centers are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women often provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair 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 are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment 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.
