Pregnant/Postpartum Women - West Point

Today, there are drug rehabilitation facilities 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 provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. 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 programs designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum treatment 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 treatment.
