Pocahontas - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug treatment centers that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation programs for pregnant/postpartum women commonly 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 programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab programs 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.
