Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Ruth, Mississippi

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that are made to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab facilities 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 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 close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also integrated into programs developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful 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 the rehab program.
