Preble - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug rehabilitation centers that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs 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 addressed while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective 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 treatment.
