Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Ruso

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that are created 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 typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation programs have integrated "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.
