Metcalf - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug rehabilitation programs that are designed to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs are specifically tailored 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 great 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 facilities designed 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 treatment.
