Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted 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. Rehab centers for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful 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 treatment.
