GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab centers that are created to focus on specific groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehab centers 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 addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also integrated into programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab programs 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.
