Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Thayer

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment centers for pregnant/postpartum women typically provide individualized programs that incorporate a good amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation 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.
