Mayhew - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment centers are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a good 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 incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective 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 the rehab program.
