Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Palo Verde

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab centers cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment centers for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehab 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.
