Pregnant/Postpartum Women - PortageToday, there are drug treatment programs that are created to focus on specific 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. Rehabilitation facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a good amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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.
