Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Worden

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab centers that are designed 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 commonly 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 developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum treatment centers 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.
