Gascoyne - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab centers cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation programs for pregnant/postpartum women often offer 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 and coping skills are also integrated into facilities 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.
