GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug treatment centers that are made to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment centers for pregnant/postpartum women often offer individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 facilities 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.
