Facts
- Research has proven that long-term drug use results in changes in the brain that can affect the person long after they have stopped using drugs.
- Most methadone clinics don't take an individual completely off the drug and actually work to stabilize them at a certain dose for an indefinite amount of time which leaves them dependent to methadone.
- After being in a state of euphoria from drug use, individuals going through withdrawal after cessation of use of the drug may crash and become depressed.
- Methadone users who are pregnant are at risk of premature labor or having a miscarriage if they abruptly stop using the drug, and many women choose to continue using methadone throughout their pregnancy to minimize these risks.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women often offer 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 close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum treatment 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.
