Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Nanticoke, PA.

The need for addiction treatment centers for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with special regards to opiate addicted pregnant and postpartum women since 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. Programs provided for pregnant and postpartum women in Nanticoke provide broad range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting clean from drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid dependent mothers a passage into a drug free and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted newborn children, and get the recovery they need to stay clean and sober while postpartum.

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

Many women in this situation often require extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many challenges to their sobriety due to the difficult nature of being a single parent. Substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes provide inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living facilities with continuing outpatient therapy services offered to them including healthcare services.
