New Waverly - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are designed 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. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women commonly offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also integrated into programs 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 treatment.
