Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Bala CynwydToday, there are drug and alcohol rehab programs that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These treatment facilities cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed 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 rehabilitation 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.
