Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Norridge

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that are created to focus on specific 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. Rehab centers for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide 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 the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also integrated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehab centers 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 the rehab program.
