Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Lillian

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are made to focus on specific drug addicted 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 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 and coping skills are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation programs have integrated "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.
