Gattman - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are made 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 typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation 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 the rehab program.
