Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Ricketts

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are made to focus on specific 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. Rehab facilities for pregnant/postpartum women often 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 close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation 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.
