Mary Alice, KY. - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab facilities 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 fair 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 developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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 the rehab program.
