Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Palmyra, ME.

The demand for drug and alcohol rehab centers for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with exceptional attention to opiate addicted pregnant and postpartum women because cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome have increased from 7 cases per 1,000 admissions to neonatal intensive care units in 2004 to 27 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2013. Rehab facilities offered to pregnant and postpartum women in Palmyra provide wide range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting off drugs and alcohol a reality, allow opioid addicted mothers the transformation into a drug free and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent infants, and obtain the rehabilitation they need to remain clean and sober while postpartum.

States that provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services rather than legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services support the idea of maintaining the family together and maintaining the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services delivered at such programs may involve group, individual, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some treatment programs may even provide training in parenting and include trauma-specific services to address any abusive relationships which trigger their drug or alcohol abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.

Many women in this situation normally require extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many challenges to their sobriety due to the complex nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer residential and inpatient treatment with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living programs with ongoing outpatient therapy services offered to them including medical services.
