Sweet Briar, Virginia - Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment programs that are made 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 programs 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 and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment 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 the rehab program.
